Canada likely operates very differently than the US. I've had bumpers repaired by reputable shops with much more significant damage than what the OP has been subjected to, and $400-500 has been the average. I live in SoCal, so maybe the relative availability of competition on every corner skews the numbers, but you could search forums and find example after example of similar work being performed for $500 or less.
