The insurance on a vehicle should be in the name of the Registered owner of the vehicle. Any permissive driver should also be added to the policy as a driver if you are a regular driver or if you live in the household. Either of these requires that you be listed on the policy not both of these. The owner of the vehicle is bound by legal contract to add any regular drivers and household members. If these people are not added to the policy, the contract has been voided and the insurance company can decide not to pay any claims involving such unlisted drivers.

Can a Canadian purchase car insurance in CA if the car stays in CA and the two primary drivers have Canadian Licenses?

If the drivers now reside in California, then they will be required to turn in their Canadian licences and obtain California licences to replace them; if they still reside in Canada and only use the car for short periods in California this is not required but then the car would have to be titled/registered in Canada. As to the car insurance, I believe it is always purchased based on location where it is garaged.

How do you get insurance if you are the primary driver for a car registered in your parent's name in another state?

You should be able to get insurance on the car no matter who it is registered to. If the company asks paperwork all you should have to do is tell them its in your parents name. Everytime I've gotten insurance I don't think I've ever had anyone ask for more than the VIN number and a car inspection and money.

Is the driver or the owner legally responsibile in an accident?

Insurance stays with the car. So if the vehicle is insured (subject to any policy exclusions) and your 'permissive driver' were at fault then your policy will be primary on all damages. You both however are 'legally' responsible. If you are saying that neither the vehicle nor the driver had insurance. Then you both have a problem, and more than likely the injured party (or their insurance) will come to both of you for reimbursement.
