It depends on what province you live in. Most provinces require that you change your license within 90 days of moving to the province. If you have not done this then technically you are driving without a valid license, so your insurance will not be valid. So if you are in a province that is 100% privately run (Ontario, Alberta, Maritimes), then you might have a hard time finding an insurer who will be willing to insure you at a reasonable rate. If you are in a province with government run insurance (B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan), then you will have an easier time of it, however you will still need to change your license over. Regardless of which province you are in, you will need a letter of experience from your insurer in England or else you would only qualify for base rate/new driver rate.
If your credit card is a Visa or Mastercard then I do not see any problem whatsoever using it here. If the credit card company (not the institution that issued it) is something one-of-a-kind to the U.K. or Europe then you might want to test it a store first to ensure it works.

I do not know about Canada, but I have bought several policies on the web here in the U.S. and as long as you pay for it with a credit card or a check then they can print you out a receipt and you have instant coverage. I would do some more searching like “instant coverage on the web in Canada.”
