You can buy beeswax in most art and craft stores. Just look for the natural beeswax without perfume or any funny additives.

I would avoid any of the wood conditioning concoctions including mineral oil, they are food grade in that the oil is not toxic but you really don't want it in the crust of the finished caneles.
There is a beekeeper who sells honey and beeswax items including bulk beeswax blocks at the Brickworks market and probably other markets such as Wychwood. They will able to verify for you that what you are buying is pure beeswax.
To use the beeswax to make the canele melt the beeswax and an equal amount of butter then liberally brush the inside of the mold with the liquid butter/beeswax mix. This actually forms part of the crispy crust of the canele so you want to avoid any oils or fats that will alter the flavour profile.

Would Clapham’s Beeswax Salad Bowl Finish work? I use if for my wood cutting board and utensils. It's beeswax mixed with a little mineral oil. So, it's not pure beeswax if that's what you need. But it's made by a beekeeper in BC and is food grade.
I bought a small container at the Gardiner Museum gift shop where I also the cutting board. Clapham's website lists Lee Valley Tools as another GTA retailer.
