Just find another dealer. In Alberta, you just need a guardian's signature to register according to
alberta.ca. And the Traffic Safety Act section that requires a person to have a licence to operate a vehicle only applies to highways (which includes private property that the public generally has access to). So a 5 year old could legally own and drive a car in Alberta just without insurance and not on a highway.
Ontario had an issue where a 14 year old bought a car then crashed it causing death. The car was bought legally, but of course not properly registered and he had no licence to operate where he did.
