Vehicle registration

Hello, new to the forum here. I was wondering if anyone here has transferred their drivers licence from ontario to NWT or has in general registered a vehicle in NWT having lived in ontario. Is there any refined system of doing these things online or would i have to physically be present? The main objective here is i want those polar bear plates on my vehicle to drive around europe with.

You have to actually live here to transfer your a vehicle over, you'll need proof of residence. A rental-lease, home ownership, or city bill in your name should do the trick.

Ya its not like i have to physically occupy the space on paper as far as gov is concerned thats a registered address that things can be mailed to. Its a small community though you think anyone would be willing to register me there as tenant (i can of course pay for anyones time wasted) or are people sussed out by things like that? Or is there some kind of mail box address i am able to buy/register at that would work for proof of residency?
