Many of the Canada precancels exist in inverts. They are relatively common! The one cent green for Calgary exists as normal ($12.50), double ($200), invert ($12.50) and double invert ($300) - prices from Unitrade Precancel Catalogue 5th edition.

re: inverted surchage
No problem at all!! Most Canada precancels seem to exist in many different forms. It seems that they didn't seem to be very careful how they ran them off. Almost every precancel seems to exist in several versions, they vary in price of course. Anyone who collects them has to have the Canada Unitrade Precancel Catalogue.
EDIT: I'm not saying the inverts are not collectible! There are many collectors of precancels who prefer them to be inverts or multi-struck or are trying to collect one of each. It's not my thing but we all collect differently! I decided to just collect one of each city/town in both numbered or place named precancel. There are a few that are very pricey!!
