I was in a weird situation where I had insurance but had 0 cars under the policy at the time of purchase. The dealer said that was okay; having an insurance account with my name was enough for them.

How long are you going for? And what destination do you have in mind?

I was asked by the dealer (Canada) to provide insurance/registration before I leave for ED. The car is currently in Germany.

And did you? I don't get this odd request by your dealer at all. The dealer would be the one providing the registration and you shouldn't need to insure it until its in canada ready to be picked up.
