It is advisable to contact your insurance company to register the vehicle you are acquiring. Additionally, the dealer in British Columbia will facilitate the acquisition of a transient permit (a printable license plate) on your behalf; your responsibility is merely to cover the associated cost.
I would not hesitate to purchase a vehicle from British Columbia at any given time, due to the significantly wider selection of vehicles available compared to what is offered in Alberta.
