And will the MTO office alert the insurance company and change ownerships or do you have to do that yourself?

Thanks

1) That's all you need, maybe a checkbook/Visa to cover any fees.

2) You don't need to notify your insurance co. There are 2 parts to your ownership -- the vehicle side and the plate side. They will be changing the plate side, but the vehicle side will remain the same. The insurace co is only concerned with the vehicle side -- the VIN, and whether the vehice is "fit" or not. It doesn't matter what the plate number is, only the VIN matters.
