“I’m sorry” conveys that the situation makes you sad. Usually in an “I’m sad this has happened” kind of way (from the root word 'sorrow")
“I apologize” means you regret your role in the situation.
They’re always quite different. You can say “I’m sorry” for any situation that’s upsetting to you or the other person. And that’s not just because I’m Canadian!
You can only say I apologize about the part you played.
