Here is the Prestige level website

Under core privileges, priority seat selection, “Take a seat at the front of the Economy Class Cabin on flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express, and Air Canada rouge. It says nothing about eligible fare types as it does for Complementary Preferred Seat.

If this does stand, then how can I easily get a refund for seat selection.

Thanks in advance.
