Default Recommended Out of Province Inspection shops / Auto Body for bumper cover

Hi fellow Calgarians.

So my wife decided to bring our other car from Ontario (important info as I can tell they are harsher on inspections with cars plated for Ontario than, say, Sask).

And I've got mixed opinions about our bumper. Wife decided she didn't want to pay attention back in Ontario when parking in a garage and dented our front bumper. While the damage is relatively cosmetic and not too bad (it's hard to tell it's dented when more than, say, 10 metres from it), I've been told different things as to whether or not this would cause a failed Out of Province Inspection.

I don't assume most people know the intricate details of OOP requisites (the list is probably ridiculously long), but does anyone know reputable OOP shops that may be separate from body work? Or if they only know from experience, maybe a body shop that does OOP inspections (there are many) and has a lesser chance of BSing us into forking over for a new bumper cover+paint job if we don't yet require it? We're wanting to put it off for a few months if possible (have 90 days on the inspection from when vehicle entered Alberta) because of having to pay for too much other stuff immediately, and trying to keep credit utility reasonable.

I did search the forums and noticed a few topics on this subject, and while they were useful, they're also on the older side.. trying to get any up to date information.
