So I've been working in Asia last 3 years, and before that was US.
I gave my car to my parents in 2010 to help prove non-residency.
I'm working in AB again for the first time in 5 years, and loaded up the car which used to be mine, and drove out. Work tells me it will be a temporary 3-6 month assignment.
Now the problem is, the insurer in NS (who my parents are with as they own it) wont insure me because I don't have an NS license. AB just told me today I can't insure a car that I don't own. I don't want to go to the hassle and costs of inspection (and anything they decided needs to be repaired - 17 yo car, but was inspected in NS 5 months ago) only to do this again in potentially 12 weeks in NS. Also if they do gift it, this will cause a lot more headaches if I have to move abroad in 3 months, due to you can't gift it back and forth.
Am I really the first person to do a long term out of province car loan? Anyone know what my options are here for insurance?
