When I moved to Alberta from BC for school I was able to keep my BC plates as long as I was enrolled as a student. I also racked up more than a few speeding tickets from speed traps, since I was new to the city and was young & stupid. When I got my license switched to an AB one after graduation apparently they checked my ICBC record but it came back absolutely clean, which was quite surprising to me. I get my clean AB license and 6 months later I get a letter in the mail from ICBC saying they're going to suspend my now-defunct BC license. So apparently they do communicate with each other, but the flow of information is extremely slow
