True personifer (Chaetodontoplus personifer) rarely appears in the US market, let alone Canada market.

Well, perhaps you are right. I took a look of the both side of the face, it has light blue background color. Compare to the pictures online, the blue color is not bright enough. I am not sure which kind it will be.

Distinguishing feature is the tail in mature fish, is it not? C. meredithi will be solid yellow; C. personifer will show a black stripe. Depending on the size of the fish you have in stock, that may or may not give you an ID (smaller fish are indistinguishable, as far as I know). Safe bet would C. meredithi though. Like George said, only a handful of true personifers have ever made it to North America. Beautiful fish regardless!

Thanks! That is good to know. Hunting rare fish and coral is alway my dream. Will try hard to see if I got the luck to get one of these in front of my eyes and yours!
