Hi Chris,

Vehicle registration is a provincial responsibility, so the process
varies by province. An Ontario vehicle is issued an "Ownership"
document by the Ministry of Transportation.  I dunno how it's done
elsewhere in Canada, but I believe it's pretty similar.

The "Ownership" blends the function both a title and registration....
the annual license plate fee sticker gets attached to it (and a sticker
on the plate as well), and when a vehicle is sold it is signed over to
the new owner and taken to the MTO (our DMV) for processing, where they
issue a new ownership document in the name of the new owner. An owner
with a vehicle coming in from out of province has to go to the MTO with
the appropriate paperwork to get a new Ontario ownership issued and
purchase an Ontario plate for it, and the original ownership is then
destroyed.

Happy trails,
