At the beginning of 2021, I got extra car from my wife’s sister who leave on the Windsor Ontario, she moved the llast year due to his husband found job in USA, after half years his husband job is stabilized, so she sold his house and and drive his 2016 hundan Tuson Luxury car to Arzon, after three month, they must to change the car to local plate, but when they drove the car to local regirstion office, the officer reject to registrate it, the reason they said the car was built according to Canada standard not meet USA standard requirements, so this car can running in USA, they warp the car and paid $1500 USA dollar to ship to my house,
I packed my car in the grage then busy on my fill time job, after our plant outage start May , I have time to drive this car, but car battery is dead, so recharge it and run it several hours, it is amzing car, lather soft chare, ge sunroof, back sites heating, interal colour is white, luxiary car
I deceicde use this car to run the Uber to service the Calgary people, so I go to Uber website registated to be Uber driver, the Uber start requests to upload the file
1, Driver licence, class 4, or class 2 or class 1
Uber requests at least class 4 to drive, I have class 5 so, I can to drive the Uber until I upgrad my license to class 4.
This step take almost two month to co mpleted, upgrade the driver licens to class 4 need wirting and road test, class 4 writing test need review two books, book 1 is just general 5 class exam, book 2 which is includes the class 4,2 and class 1 exam, I take a lot of time to reading book 2, and ignore the book 1 due to I thought which is class 5 scope, I failure the first time, just missing 1 questions, then I found all the questions is come from the book 1 which not from the book 2, I pass second time within 26 questions, 30 questions, must pass 26 questions. Each exam $17, you can take one exam per day, but can,t take 2 exam per day
For the road test, the score is 45 points, which class 5 is 75 score, I fail twice ether I pass my class 5 two road test 1 time and drive in Canada 14 years, the examer requests the extremely speed control, uncontrolled intersection check, and high merge, stop broker request genetly, speed control must within 2 kilometers, the examer use taplet which has GPS build in, after each speed change, GPS will automatic check you speed and give 10 points when you speed control out of range, breaker must be genital and stop location also important.
Driver can’t change the lane at intersection, and uncontrol intersection inspection must slowdown and check all the corner and then to go, the seond time I have 150 point error, there is 50 speed control error and 40 breaker control error and 30 intersection check error. I all most lst my confidence can pass the class 4 until I did two day practice at the test routing.
I past at third time road test with 40 error. Which is 0 speed control error and 0 breaker control error.
After I receive my class 4 licence then I took driver license picture then upload to Uber website , the road exam is expensive, I found , some place is $185, some place is $ 175, I found the cheapest exam is $150 which is located north east , make sure you bring the you car registration card , I forgot bring my registration card and paid $30 for print from the computer, it is no time go back home to find it due to the road test time limited.
Three time exams I paid 450 dollar, plus the registration card reprint, it cost $480.
2, Car Insurance paper:
Scan and upload insure documents to Uber account, it is most easy and straight forward step
3 Police back ground check
Calgary people can do the police check online, which need to login and follow the instruction step and take two photo ID pictures, then pay $50 dollar which is non refundable, it is take around 15 days, they will provide the results and you can share it to Uber Canada
Unfortunately I did twice pay $100, the first time I forget to check the venerable check, the send to Uber who not accept, then did second time to check the venerable check
4 Less than 10 years old car and completed car inspection,
My luxury 2016 Tuson only driven less than 60,000 kilometers, inspection results said everything is ok, but Canadian tire inspector request to change the tire, $800 dollar for whole set all season tir, I paid $800 to replace tire, the inspection fee is $50 and must submit within 1 month after police background check, so always to do the background check first then do car inspection. After pass the inspection, they will issue a ELVIS inspection form to upload to Uber documents account
