In the Queen's case it is because she is the monarch and the royal arms are both hers and the arms of the country.
I would assume Governors General bear arms, but as they would be personal only, I would expect them to follow the traditional rule.
And I need to revise a little -- traditionally, women use lozenges
or ovals rather than shields.
