In Canada saying I’m sorry/apologize can’t be taken as an admittance of fault. So may legally vary in place to place, but there isn’t actually a difference.

In Canada ... 'I'm sorry' doesn't mean much any more ...

Bump somebody in public? ... I'm sorry
Meet someone you know? ... I'm sorry
Meet someone you don't know? ... I'm sorry
Look at somebody? ... I'm sorry
Stand in line with other people? ... I'm sorry
Someone acknowledge you? ... I'm sorry
Someone asks you to hold this severed body part? ... I'm sorry (and hold it anyway)
Someone asks you for directions? ... I'm sorry
Someone tells you 1+1=2? ... I'm sorry
Someone asks you if you want salmon or steak? .... I'm sorry
Someone asks you which hockey team you like? ... I'm sorry
Someone asks you about the weather? .... I'm sorry
