Could anyone advice me where could I find such macro lens, as well as the model / name for it?

Check on ebay or your local craigslist. Canon offered two macro lenses for film cameras, a 50mm and a 100mm.
I use a 100mm macro lens because it allows a better "working distance" from bees and butterflys.
I just did an ebay search and found several Genuine Canon macro lenses.
Ignore all the zoom lenses with the word "macro" attached. They should be labeled "close focusing" since they usually offer only a 1:4 (1/4 life size) reproduction ratio while a true macro lens is 1/2 (1:2) life size or life size (1:1).

Edwin took the words right out of my mouth and then added some extra excellent ones. You can't get better advice than that!!
