I was hoping to get a little knowlege from the cp brain with a little issue I'm having. Any insight or expieriences are welcome.

My girlfriends father is leaving for a year on an overseas sabatical. He's nice enough to give us his vehicle to use while he's away. Problem is, he lives in Manitoba and we live in Alberta.

How long can you drive around Alberta with a vehicle registered in another province? As far as I understand it's three months but I might be wrong.
Transfering vehicle ownership isn't my first option since it's a 7% rst tax to transfer back to Manitoba.

Calling insurance and talking to registries is a headache since I seam to get different answers everytime.
