I am a PR holder of Canada, based in Toronto. My car is registered under Ontario and I am also holding Ontario Driving License. For a project work I will be going to Montreal and will be there for 6 months before I come back to Toronto. I am thinking to bring my Car also with me.
Is it okay to drive in Quebec for 6 months without transferring the car registration under Quebec? What are the options I have?

above mentioned is for DL and same apply for Car as well for outside province. Keep your valid insurance and you are good. Still double check SAAQ

The Link says, I can drive for 6 consecutive months.
In this case is it okay that I cross the Quebec and Ontario border and after spending some hours in Ontario I take a U-Turn and enter Quebec again to reset the days count?
Another question is how will Quebec comes to know that I am in Quebec for 6 consecutive months? Or if some police officer ask me how will I prove him/her about my date of entry at Quebec?

There is no track for this in and out. Only thing which can be problematic in future is insurance claim (If any came).

Good luck

The biggest indicator would be where you permanently reside in Canada. Working for 6 months and going back to ON, where you own a home, pay rent, do your banking, etc. would probably be sufficient proof. You could also get a letter from your employer explaining you are temporarily assigned to QC
