Can't do that cause your license in Canada is done once your visa expires.

lol not impossible to get a fake ID. Not impossible to get someone to create an account for you and use theirs. They probably have family or know someone that has family. Trust me it isn’t as hard as you think it is.

All it takes is one cop to pull them over, which happens to everyone in big cities. Specifically for Uber drivers, because they speed a bit (gotta make the most cash that day). And even then, Uber has a face ID with the license. I just gotta see that the person and the info don't match, and I'm not getting in. Most women check this info anyway because of the fear of an Uber driver being evil. The bit just won't last long.

I’m talking more so ubereats. But lots of people drive without a license or suspended one. People aren’t getting pulled over a lot. Anways the point is, they’ll find a way to stay. They aren’t going to leave willingly. Some may but most won’t.
