In order to give you correct advice, I will require to review your retainer agreement. The migration rules are governed by a incorporated body in Canada. So in your case the fees chargeable has to be as per the applicable Canadian rules applicable to registered migration agent.

As per your, the fees charged just for initial documentation appears excessive, best alternative is to ask for a detailed invoice with itemised bill which will give you overview of the fees charged.
