Technically, to be canonized means to be incorporated into the Canons (laws, beliefs) of the Church. To be canonized as a saint means that investigations have shown that the candidate is, indeed, in heaven. The process does not make saints, only God can do that. The canonization process simply recognizes the person is a saint.
