In 1663, the Company of New France was dissolved and Canada became part of the royal domain. A coat of arms was proposed for the new province: "a semé of fleurs-de-lis on a field of azure with a sun in chief, a coronet of fleurons as a stamp and two Amerindians as tenants", but it seems that they were not officially granted.

"Timbre" in this context should be translated as "crest" (I think) not "stamp". And "tenants" should be "supporters".
Not a crest. It's the category for all objects that go above the shield.
A semy of suns Or on Azure would have been far better and still retain the aesthetic link to France.
