Zero - nor is “canonization” necessary.

I'm assuming you found that regulation right next to the other ones in the Hebrew Scriptures explicitly listing the rules and processes by which men can exalt other men into a super-status of "saint".
Let me pull out my Torah/Tanakh and I'll confirm & cross reference those 101 Sainthood rules with the Word of G-d........in 3.....2.......1.......
......wait I'm still looking.....
While you're waiting I looked up the hebrew root word for "saint" (did the research years ago) and the catholic/christian word "saint" comes from the Hebrew Scriptures in the form of Qodesh or Qodeshim. The literal translation is Set-Apart in or those whom are Set-Apart. The usage of the word in the Hebrew Scriptures and within the Gospels denotes anybody who has cleaved themselves to G-d's Covenant, and lives according to the written Word of G-d. Nowhere is Qodesh or Qodeshim used to denote a higher office within a hierarchy of a religious ruling class.
Anybody who cleaves themselves to the Covenant with G-d, and lives the whole written Word of G-d, just like Jesus did, is Qodesh Set-Apart in G-d.
Well, I gave up trying to cross reference the 101 rules of sainthood with the Hebrew Scriptures because they can't be cross referenced anywhere in Torah/Tanakh or in the teachings of Jesus.

Who canonized the saints at Ephesus, to whom the Apostle Paul penned a letter?

The only miracle required for one to become a saint is for one to accept Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross and his resurrection. A saint is simply a believer in Christ according to New Testament reading. There is no process by which a church or group of people must vote on to make a person a saint.

The first of the two miracles, the supposed healing of the French nun of Parkinson’s, is, how does one say it, reverting? Here is a clip from the Guardian:
“But according to the Polish daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita, one of the doctors charged with scrutinising the nun’s case believed she might have been suffering from a similar nervous disease, not Parkinson’s, which could go into sudden remission. A report on the paper’s website went further, saying that the 49-year-old nun had become sick again with the same illness.”
If a miracle does not hold, does it count?

According to the New Testament all Christians are Saints.

What about the Christians who are living in sin? Pornography, Addiction, Adultery?
I don’t think your premise holds true. What do you think?
How can a Christian living in sin be a saint? Even with a small “s”??
And definitely not with a capital “S”

Your wrong. 42 is the meaning of life. You obviously don ‘t know where your towel is at. Go read some Vogon poetry. ;)

It was a joke. You don’t know it’s the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Little “s” in this life, the big “S” in the next.

Got to remember that we are dealing with the “sola scripture” only folks.

Salvation,
Please see Bible for God’s process for sainthood.
Catholic process invalidates God’s process, by transforming it from dependence upon Christ’s work at the cross into a system of human works.
To create a different process other than the one God declares freely is to minimize the death and resurrection of Christ.
I will continue to prefer God’s declaration that every believer in Christ is now a saint - here on earth or departed to be in the presence of God.

“Little s in this life, the big S in the next.”
And yet, God declares no such false division between saints.
