Steve Jobs exploited a loophole that allowed him to avoid ever having a license plate. Something like you can get temp paper license for six months after you purchase a vehicle so he just swapped vehicles every six months.

Without new plate stickers you won't be getting ownership stickers. The onus is on you to log in to Service Ontario and update your information before it expires. You can set up a reminder. The gendarmes are investing in new plate readers (OPP anyway) for the cruisers will is supposed to provide them that information in real time.
The question only occurred to me because I'm babysitting a friend's truck while he's in Florida for the winter. The registration expires while he's away. Fortunately he remembered to renew, but other than taking his word for it I can't be sure.
Do rental or car share companies have the same registration renewal rules? Getting pulled over still sucks even if they reimburse you for the $500 ticket.

My 2 stickers expired in October. I renewed for 2 years and printed out the receipt to have in my SUV and on the bike.
As as FYI, prior to heading to the US in early Feb. for a few weeks I removed the SUV plate, left the sticker end soaking in hot water for 30 minutes and 99% of it peeled right off, residue came off with Goo Be Gone. Will do same for the bike in the spring. This eliminates another state / province questioning an expired sticker issue, small as the likelihood of this may be.
I dont think it's that small. IIRC QC was already doing this. Every jurisdiction loves to fundraise from travellers and this is an easy one. Iirc, some have a law against displaying expired validation so not only do you get the ticket, you are guilty and it's hard to beat.
Apparently if you renew at a SO office yes but if you renew online no. I haven't had to renew in the new system yet.
Well, who knows. I don't like being taken advantage of by some idiot LEO in Quebec or Georgia so removing the sticker, for me, is a no brainer.
Oh sure NOW you tell me.
yeah I learned the hard way as well.
True commercial use vehicles still need stickers - was issued one for the plate on my tractor at work back in November or December. So I suspect rental vehicles still have them as well.
If you had a plate old enough to be painted instead of a sticker, a heat gun probably works. My cage plate is from late 80's or early 90's.
I have my old mid 90's original motorcycle plate somewhere from when I first started riding, but my current plate is one of the new plastic film over the stamped aluminum ones, and yeah, when I tried to peel off all the old stickers part of the plate covering itself came off as well, so now there's some bare aluminum showing. Kinda looks a bit ******, but I don't look at it often enough for it to bother me enough to get a new plate for the cosmetics alone.
I cut a little piece of white reflective tape and put it where the sticker was.

No. This is not true. You just get a paper from them saying you've been renewed for either One or Two Years.
I just renewed Mine for the Cager.

I will be spending time in Backwoods Holler TN this fall.
When I did the online renewal of my motorcycle registration all I got was the option to print what basically is a receipt for payment of $0.00 for 2 years. To me that looked like something I could run of a phone/computer with a basic note app.
I remember back when Alberta did away with front plates and it resulted in a lot of tickets if you left the province or went to the US.
After research I discovered you can go to Sevice Ontario office and get the official looking form they used to use, complete with expiry date for for 1 or 2 years.
I will also peel off the expired sticker.
I work part time at Home Depot Tool Rental where we rent vans and about 20% of customers have expired drivers licenses and/or vehicle insurance. With insurance it is usully forgetting to put the new document in the vehicle or an image on your phone.
Beware!! Big Brother is Watching. Your plate can be optically scanned from a overpass, traffic light and elsewhere to determine if the vehicle has current registration AND current insurance. You (or the owner of the vehicle) no longer need to be stopped to get a ticket.
I can hear the screaming from here, This is Not Fair, but to put it in prospective the City of Edmonton pulls in a million dollars a month with photo radar. It is probably more since Edmonton privatized photo radar.
