Do I have to get an Ontario driver's license?

Daily Life
1

I am from Ontario but currently a legal resident of Alberta and own an home and a car here. I have health card and drivers licsence…

I also own a home in Ontario and a car. I commute back and forth often as most of my family lives in Ontario.
My insurance company, which is the same company in both provinces, keep requesting i get an Ontario Drivers lic but then if I do that, will that trigger my residence change to Ontario?

In both provinces I have no issues renewing, or purchasing vehicles.
