You will sign away the rest of your life. Your insurance is null and void since the vehicle was not being driven in the territory it was insured for.

Do you really think someone from B.C. moving to Ontario and trying to register their B.C. vehicle in Ontario is going to go through a less bureaucratic process? The vehicle inspection is required regardless of which province your moving to, even Ontario. The sales tax issue is the same in Ontario. The VIN is inspected by the broker in B.C. in order to cut down on fraud by unscrupulous people trying to register stolen vehicles from other provinces or vehicles with stolen VIN plates or vehicle ownership. Maybe you should do a little more research about why things are done the way the are instead of making off the cuff comments about an isolated experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737479797606051454.post-55805588497408740342011-02-22T05:33:09.673-05:002011-02-22T05:33:09.673-05:00Great.

I have learnt so many things from your experience that will probably help me out. I think the best way to have an insurance policy is online as one can get a cheaper policy over there.commercial insurancehttp://www.boltinsurance.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737479797606051454.post-85373981272543204542011-02-22T05:29:43.150-05:002011-02-22T05:29:43.150-05:00Nice postNice postadinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737479797606051454.post-50728513164181151512010-11-22T01:59:28.021-05:002010-11-22T01:59:28.021-05:00I can see that it is really mind boggling.

But sometimes we have no choice but to comply with the bureaucratic policy. That is why my mother would rather live in <a href="http://laquintainsurancerates.com/palm-desert-insurance-quotes/" rel="nofollow">Palm Desert (insurance)</a> rather than moving with us here in France. She never likes paper works and long processes. She always wants everything to be done short and simple.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218052982239913893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737479797606051454.post-45500236131240874782010-11-22T01:06:58.374-05:002010-11-22T01:06:58.374-05:00thanks!thanks!Jannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737479797606051454.post-27372269748768508292010-09-22T22:44:12.562-04:002010-09-22T22:44:12.562-04:00Two reasons:

If you are living in B.C. for 30 days, even temporarily, you are required by ICBC to change over your insurance and plates.<br /><br />2. The B.C. insurance turned out to be way, way cheaper than Ontario insurance.David Karphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710657164031182109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737479797606051454.post-83572534619755926202010-09-22T21:45:53.076-04:002010-09-22T21:45:53.076-04:00Why didn't you just keep the Ontario insurance...Why didn't you just keep the Ontario insurance for those 3.5 months?

I'll be doing the B.C. -> Ontario switch in a week or two so I'll be having the same headaches as you I guess.<br /><br />The problem is there shouldn't be so much paperwork. Ontario and B.C. are all similar first-world jurisdictions IN THE SAME COUNTRY; if you have a car up and running in one, you shouldn't have to do a whole bunch of crazy paperwork just because you want to use your car in the other jurisdiction. Ontario's standards should be good enough for B.C. and vice versa.David Karphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710657164031182109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737479797606051454.post-78240056762088096942010-09-21T00:48:57.496-04:002010-09-21T00:48:57.496-04:00Hey,

Had public auto insurance from a different province, and trying to get private insurance in Ontario is ridiculously difficult. They need so much paperwork, and getting a hold of a real person at the Ministry of Transportation (instead of recorded messages) is nearly impossible. So, if you have any questions about what you even need to start the process - good luck! <br /><br />Overall, I think this has less to do with private vs. public and more to do with switching auto insurance and getting new plates in a different province. In my opinion, the insurance providers should do all of the paperwork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737479797606051454.post-26587330517818405862010-09-17T06:30:33.630-04:002010-09-17T06:30:33.630-04:00really good information about public and private v...really good information about public and private vehicles...<br />thanks for sharing...jhon smithhttp://www.mdwinsurance.com/Automobile-Insurance.phpnoreply@blogger.com
