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

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!
