I will comment but wont delve too deep as this is a public forum.
In the province of Ontario the essential flavour is no, and that is a no period.
To go any deeper is fraught with landmines.
As far as registering weird vehicles, or weird as other civvies see them, I specialise in doing it, and do it often. I get the paperwork right and get every i dotted and every t crossed.
Both driving a vehicle and registering one is a privilege and not a right in this province, and don't ever forget it because those are the words used when they "revoke your privileges".
I have over the years sorted out many peoples vehicle registrations by doing all the leg work and jumping through hoops.
There are many people who work in the system who regrettably don't see as much of a variety as others and give the wrong info out to us hobbyists.
Being patient and executing a tactical withdrawal (not a retreat) and regrouping with the correct information is the key.
Oh yes, an SMV sign is not a loophole, it is a liability.
Do it right and do it proper and when things go pear shaped you will be in the clear.
I know, I have been there.
