The cost of an eSIM is free so your refund is $0.
Did you check to see if your phone is eSIM compatible first before sign up?
You can purchase a SIM from a Telus/Koodo store for $10 or from Amazon for $4.99.

If you already signed up for a plan and have been charged, fastest way to get a physical SIM is to call your local Telus stores to see if they have them available. If they do they are $10 each. You can purchase off of Amazon as well... Public Mobile SIM Depending where you are, Kijiji might work too.

Esims are free for new activations, so you shouldn't have had to pay for it.
Check here for a list of local retailers that may have physical sim cards:

Or buy from Amazon for $4.99:

Usually PM is no refunds but you can contact support and they might make an exception. If you want to continue with PM your best bet is to order a SIM off Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/Public-prepaid-postpaid-Activate-Allinone/dp/B06X9ZGDWG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=2E...) as the ones direct from here can take quite a while to receive.
