What is going on with Uber support and backgrounds checks?

I'm in ontario, canada, submitted all my docs but background check showed needs attention and to contact support. They told me at some point in 2023 I attempted to sign up as a driver with Uber and that they initiated a background check through trition but it was never completed. I did sign up to drive then but never even opened the link at that time.

So after much back and forth with many agents they said they would send me another link to complete the background check. A few days went by and I never got the email, i contacted them again and they said they have no record of a new link being sent out so apparently the person I spoke to then initiated another link. A few more days go by and still no link. I contact them again and they tell me to do it myself and then upload the docs to them. They asked me to do a basic (level 1) check but given how much back and forth there was and how much things varied based on the agent, I did level 1 and 2.

This took 9 days to complete from the OPP. FINALLY I get my cleared background level 1 and 2 and then try to upload it to them. They then tell me that they can't accept an email from me and the app isn't allowing anything but photos. So I upload the screenshots, and they reject it. It took 5 different agents and a lot of wasted time to find a way to have the docs uploaded as pdf files. I also uploaded my driver's abstract. 1 day goes by and its rejected with the attached msg. From here onwards, I get this same message no matter which way I send screenshots or files to them. The message asks for one of a few docs and the one I upload is clearly one of them.

For some reason my account is stuck because of that uncompleted background check from 2023. It keeps saying I didnt provide anything sufficient to challenge a failed background check. I never failed one.

I spoke to supervisors and they assured me that they can see the docs and they don't understand why its not being accepted either??

They escalated the issue and it was supposed to be resolved but I just got the same God damned generic msg from them again today.

Also, the background check i did with The OPP is done by triton anyway so I dont understand why its rejected.

(The check i did was criminal record and judicial matters check)

Any ideas on what to do next??

I've been driving on lyft in the meantime but its not as busy as Uber.

Thanks in advance.

Background check issue

I need to get a PIC - VS criminal record check uploaded to the right person. the documents hub on the app doesnt have a slot for uploading my PIS-vs to be uploaded. The background check team needs to take a look at it and review it and updated my app.

So the triton background check came back and said to me that i need to provide further documentation (PIC-VS from RCMP) to be able to activate my account. And unluckily theres no document slot for me to upload my PIC - VS documents.

No matter what i do the agents dont get the issue resolved. I might have spoken to over 12 different agents and they cant just manually upload the pictures of the background check i send to the background check team to activate my account.

Has anyone had a similar issue? Is it even possible to fix this or is my account done? Please help!

PTC

Was planning to do uber for the meantime as I got laid off

The last i did was in September 2025

Did safety, and on the app everything seems to be approved.

But then not getting any rides around GTA. Also, the office seems to closed permanently.

Do i need take up another PTC by paying $80 😑
Or can we use the previous one ?
Is it taking time ?

If anyone could give aany leads would be appreciated.

Hi, I just started Ubering in Toronto near yonge and Eglinton area and I went to downtown Toronto during peak nights and I got 0 calls. Even uber eats and uber i've been driving around getting close to 0 calls. Is this normal? Is uber that bad now?
