I'm from SK so take this with that in mind.

If you transfer a plate from one vehichle to another for the 14 day grace period you must have sold the first vehicle recently (I beleive less than a month). If you still own the vehicle you cant just use the plate on the new one. It is basically just to allow you to do a trade in or sell/buy on a weekend.

If you are transporting an unregistered/insured vehichle on a trailer it is not covered on the trailers insurance. In Sk you can buy a 48 hr or 7 day permit to cover it. I know Alberta separates reg and insurance so you can probably just buy temp insurance, I did this when I bought a bike in Ab and wanted to ride it home.

Any car that has all four wheels on the ground while on the road needs insurance. You can move it uninsured at your risk on a trailer or behind a tow truck, even a dolly, but if you are using a tow strap with a buddy it has to be insured.

Hope that helps. The rules don't really change much as insurers all have similar business models.
