I am buying my first car in Montreal this Friday from a private party. When I go to register the car, will I need to have proof of insurance? So do I buy the insurance in advance and then take the proof to the registration?

I have always got the insurance in advance just in case something happens on the way to the license bureau. I think by law the car should be insured to be on the road.

The car must be insured and registered before you can drive it on a public roadway. What order you do this in is up to you.

You cannot get the ownership transferred into YOUR name without having a proof of insurance slip, with your name on it, at the Provincial office.
No insurance slip, means no transfer of the ownership and no plates, either.
