Then in the next column of “Create password” you need to enter the password that you want to create for your Uber Eats account.
In the next column, enter the name of your main city. For example, when I signed up for Uber Eats, I filled up Toronto even though I am living in Scarborough because Toronto is the main city nearby. The main cities are Toronto, Windsor, Brampton, Kitchener, London, Waterloo, Hamilton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Montreal, Edmonton, and more such big cities.
By filling up Toronto as the city, it does not restrict you to do Uber Eats delivery only in that city. You have the freedom to do Uber East delivery in any city in Canada. Right now, I am doing deliveries in Toronto, Brampton, Scarborough, and North York. You can do Ube Eats deliveries in any city and any place you want.
Once you entered your main city name, you will see the code already written over there like you see in the image above. It is our referral code. If you sign up using that referral code you will get a specific amount of dollars guaranteed on completing your first 100 trips in the first 90 days. After keeping that referral code as it is, scroll down and click on the “Next” button.
Select a Vehicle For Doing Uber Eats ( Car/ Bicycle/Walking)
On the next page, you will see the option using which you want to deliver like a car, bicycle, or walking. Choose the option which best fits you.
If you do not have money to make an initial investment to buy a car then you can go for Uber Eats Bicycle and Uber Eats Walking. To start Uber Eats Bicycle or Walker, little to no investment is needed. When I started out doing Uber Eats, I went for Uber Eats Bicycle or Walker because I had college debt and no money to make an investment to buy a car.

After this, wait for three to four hours for your documents to get approved. If any of your documents get rejected then reupload them again with better quality. Keep doing it with better quality and they will get approved soon.
Documents for Uber Eats By Car
If you have selected the car mode of doing Uber Eats delivery then, firstly, you have to upload your profile picture. After that, you need to upload proof of work eligibility, photo ID, vehicle insurance, and driving license. You need to have a G driver’s license to deliver for Uber Eats. You should upload all the above-written documents.
After uploading your document in good clarity, wait for them to approve the documents. It usually takes three to four hours to get your documents approved. If in case your documents get rejected then do not worry just reupload the same document with better quality. Do this until those do not get approved.
Background Screening Check
Once your documents get approved, you have completed two major steps that are filling up the information and document verification. The last step is Background Screening. Let’s look at it.
What is Background Screening? Background Screening involves criminal history screening through third-party vendors ISB and Triton. In the case of those who are delivering by car will also include a driving history check.
Within three to four hours after approval of your documents, you will receive an Email from Triton Canada on behalf of Uber. Triton Canada Inc is the company responsible for the person’s background screening check. Many people could think that it is fraud but it is not. This background screening is for checking the criminal record and Judicial Matters Check.
In that email from Triton, click on “Click Here to Start” and once you click on that link, one online form will be opened.
In that form, you have to fill up your personal information like first name, last name, date of birth, address, and more. At the end of the form, you may have to do a signature and one last question will be asked about your last activity like bank account opening. If you give the correct answer then your background screening is successfully done.
You might experience delays in Background Screening because there is a lot going on in backend checks.
Background Screening is Successful – Ready to Drive
If your answers are right and your background screening check is successful, then you are ready to drive for Uber Eats and start making a decent amount of money.
Background Screening is Unsuccessful – Canada Post
If your Background Screening is unsuccessful, you will receive a pdf from Triton Canada by email. PDF from Triton Canada will have the barcode and the address of the nearest Canada Post. You have to bring that pdf along with your identity proof like passport or driving license, and address proof such as bank statement or driving license to your nearest Canada Post.
Go to the Canada post and show them that PDF. The officer at Canada Post will ask for your identity proof and address proof. Do not forget to bring your address proof to Canada Post. Once you give them those proofs, your background screening will be done within two minutes.
Once your background screening is done you are ready to do Uber Eats delivery.

Hello bro,
I want to register in uber delivery by walking, but my question is that, how many hours can we get during week? And is this job on SIN or cash?
Thank you.
Hii Bhargav,
You can work any amount of time if there is no official restriction on you like a study permit. If you are an international student and are allowed to work only 20 hours then you can work maximum of 20 hours. Uber Eats is a job on SIN.
