Buying an Alberta registered camper without a title, and its located in Mexico

Hola! I saw on my local craigslist a 1970s camper for sale. It has a registration in Alberta Canada, has permanent plates, BUT no title. I really would like to buy it but I want to know how difficult it would be to get a title? If I can register it in Mexico without a title? 

I read somewhere that some Canadian campers don't have titles/aren't given them but I need the registration and bill of sale.

I just want to make sure how to proceed. I'm realistically going to move forward with this sale as I won't be towing the camper, it will be parked and I want to turn it into a cafe. 

Thanks in advance.

(I'm aware its not smart to purchase a vehicle without a title, so if you're just going to comment that... don't haha)

    To be clear; you are in MX, and of all the thousands of RVs for sale, the one you want is in Canada and does not have a title? How will you get it across the Canadian border, through the US and across the MX border? I appreciate your ambition, but I have to imagine there's another RV that will be logistically easier to manage to turn into a cafe.

      So I mis-read the original post. The RV is in MX but with Alberta plates?
