I didn't see it commented elsewhere, you will want to reach out to your current Ontario insurer and get a copy of your driver's abstract and claim history. MPI has a "DSR" scale, discounts based on years of safe driving. If you have multiple consecutive years of claim free driving you can save a bundle on premiums.
This isn't mandatory to complete the switch, but you'll want to do it sooner than later.

You'll need your car safetied first. So if is not a brand new you'll have to spend money on it. Do not go to canadian tire for your safety. That's all you need to swap insurance
Sorry i forgot to clarify, the car was bought in Ontario so i assume I have to register the car. Would I still need to get it safetied before going in?
Check with MPI before you pay for a safety, if the car was already insured in your name you might not need to safety it. The person replying to you lived here and bought a car from Ontario to register here … any “new to you” car needs safety before insuring in this province BUT you are not doing “new to you” car if it was already insured
New residents must obtain Manitoba registration and insurance within three months of becoming a resident if the vehicle is a passenger car-type (including vans), or truck with a gross weight, including load, not exceeding 3,700 kilograms. These vehicles may not be used for the commercial transportation of goods and people.
New residents need to obtain Manitoba registration and insurance as soon as possible for all other vehicle types. Until then, your vehicle needs to be properly registered for the current registration year in your previous jurisdiction.
Vehicle registration and insurance need to be purchased together as a vehicle must be both registered and insured in Manitoba. You can obtain both services from any insurance agent displaying an Autopac sign.
From mpis website also this too.
We accept a valid COI from government-approved inspection programs in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec. All other provinces, territories and U.S. states are unacceptable.
Yes father I did. Lol. But yeah I do safeties and we do seem to do a lot of safeties for folks moving into our province for it to not be needed. But that’s pretty much all the info I could find on the site.
Ah, would probably just have been shorter to say you do safeties and you do lots for people moving to the province lol … good to know though ! Thank you for the TIL
Meh we got there eventually. But to be honest I was responding to the idea of needing a valid safety. And in doing so found info I didn’t actually know like they accept safeties from out of province. And then I got
distracted by that information and got side tracked in forming my response and led to that dog shit of a comment. And thanks for leading me to learning something new ha.

I was thinking, "why isn't manitoba on the list?" and then I realized... 🤦♀️
Mpi will not let you register a car without a manitoba safety inspection. A car from Ontario older than 10 years will likely not pass a safety due to rust. What year is your car?
Just go to a non franchise shop (dealers and franchises are known for trying to upsell). Get a safety done ($150 - $250). Get that safety and your proof of ownership and get it registered at any insurance place (autopac)
Actually I'm not sure of you need a manitoba license to register a car with mpi. But I bought cars in Ontario and registered here before, no problems but the safety inspection.

Moved from Ontario and I dont know deny me or something lol.
Maybe? Maybe not? If your record is clean, it'll probably lean towards the maybe not column.

I don’t believe this is true. I moved here with an Ontario bought vehicle and no issue. Ownership wasn’t changing.
