You need proof of insurance (pink slip) in AB before you can register the vehicle in AB. Yes, you can get both and drive back to BC. Obviously, you need to through the steps by ICBC to convert it over to BC. You can then un-register and un-insure the vehicle in AB and get a proportional refund, minus "administration" fees. For registration, it's $10.
Also, you will get taxed (%7 PST) on the fair market value of the vehicle. Unless the vehicle was original purchased in BC, moved to AB, and now moving back to BC. Sadly, you can't escape tax...
