Can an Canadian national be knighted by the Queen of England?
Potentially, anyone can be knighted by the Queen, as long as they are a British Citizen. In reality, people are nominated for outstanding (and usually lifelong) service to a particular field. Foreign nationals can receive honorary knighthoods, OBEs, MBEs and so on. For example, the singer Bono recently was honored for his charity work. Most honors are given to British Citizens, though. PS It's Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, not just England.
