Uber Eats delivery is a different path

Delivery-only work does not use the identical passenger-rideshare checklist. Uber's Canadian delivery guidance says car couriers generally need an accepted local driver's licence, current insurance, proof of work eligibility and screening. Bike or foot delivery can have different age and document requirements.
