All the loopholes and grey areas have been exploited so I would tread carefully and wisely. I wish I could have bought my Performante via Lamborghini Calgary and saved the 26% but it's too risky.

Once he moves back to BC, and changes his DL + Healthcare card + Taxes over to BC, how do you propose he maintain the AB plate + insurance? Plate + Insurance must be switched over within 90 days of officially moving back.
From the sounds of it, OP's friends scenario is very black/white, nothing even remotely wrong happening if he is legitimately living and working in AB. I would keep as much documentation as possible (CC bills with AB address, utility records in his name, letters from employer, etc) as those may be required later if govt of bc looks into it. Again, I went through a similar situation recently, it's pretty straight forward when you provide them a shit load of documentation right off the bat to verify everything.
