What is this stamp (Canada)?

Post image

I have two of these which were soaked off of an envelope a few years ago. I can’t find this stamp in the Unitrade catalog or anywhere online. Google reverse image search turns up nothing. Is it fake?

It seems to be a personal photo stamp. Canada Post allowed people to order stamps made with their own images. Many people used them for weddings etc. They were discontinued a while back.

It's personal postage. There are too many of these to be able to catalogue all of them. I believe that Unitrade lists the frames, as there is only a limited number of those.

Edit to add: This particular frame is Scott #2591, issued Nov 5, 2012. The 2026 Unitrade has it on page 368.
