A pope goes through the same canonization process as any candidate for sainthood. He gets no special consideration. Information about the man is gathered by the postulator of the cause. He organizes it, investigates any miracles, and presents the case to the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints. They then make a recommendation to the current pope to either canonize or not canonize the candidate.
