It's the standard migration fee, no more, no less.
You could have avoided it by having had your child born in Australia,
then it would have been a citizen by birth (because PR parents) and no
need for any kind of visa.
Consider yourselves fortunate that the process is straightforward,
Canada insists that at least one parent (if a PR) be *living* in the
country in order to allow a child a migration visa. As did Australia
before November 2003.
