$25 for fingerprints, what a bargain. In Ontario for re-certification driving school kids, I paid $45 for a Vulnerable Sector Check through a third-party agency working with OPP, then was asked for fingerprints to be done by OPP for an extra $90 that then went back to the agency for final clearance.
First I had to pay 55 bucks online and then they said I needed to show up in person and that a charge of $25 “may be charged for employment purposes”. So, the total I paid for the background check including Vulnerable Sector check was about 80 bucks.
Sergei about that insurance for uber, are you sure that you have to call your insurance? I did uber once in Chicago area , When i uploaded my prove of insurance at the documents section it got accepted and i didn't have to csll my insurance. So does it work differently in Canada? I thought it's the same process .
I did the same. The app asked for proof of insurance, and when I tapped on that line, it said, "Take a photo". There was nothing about "special insurance". So, I just took the photo, submitted and it got accepted. Doing the last step -- vehicle inspection today... After this, I'll just need to wait for the City of Calgary to send me an invitation for the online Uber driver training course. Everything else is done, But it's definitely a lengthy process -- getting set up with Uber just to make a couple of bucks.
