The RNP with the lowest minimums (RNP 0.10 accuracy) is a restricted procedure as well. Same for the lowest LPV minimums (251ft). So there are definitely benefits of having these certifications, even if you can fly the ILS.
By the way, YYZ and YVR have RNP AR approaches as well, so PD can benefit from those. YUL doesn't have any.

Yes, but pretty much everyone with an AOC in Canada can fly that rcap ILS. My point is more that that before the RNP 34, AC, Jazz, Encore, Horizon (not sure if they can even do RNP in Canada) and Flair flew to kelowna for decades with minor issues. So I think not being able to do RNP would be a funny reason to not fly there.
I have flown the RNP into YYZ and they are great about an early head up, but I'd imagine it's a tiny percent of arrivals doing it. YVR's doesnt link up with the STAR by several thousand feet last time I looked at it, so effectively useless and I've never heard of anyone doing it.
