Spelling of Title
The Canadian government spells the title governor general without a hyphen. The media of Canada still often uses the governor-general spelling.
As governor is the main noun in the title, it is the term that is pluralized; thus, it is governors general, rather than governor generals. Moreover, both terms are capitalized when used in the formal title preceding an incumbent's name.

The heart is drained that, spelling in the scurry
Of chemic blood, warned of the coming fury.
By the sea’s side hear the dark-vowelled birds.”
