Our driver screening process is thorough and compliant, meeting or exceeding Canadian and Saskatchewan legal standards to ensure community safety and integrity.
This policy details the mandatory screening, verification, and compliance measures for all individuals applying to drive on the Catch Platform in Saskatchewan.

2. Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible to drive with Catch, applicants must meet the following requirements:
• Age Requirement: Minimum 23 years of age.
• Licensing:
- Must hold a valid Saskatchewan Class 4 driver’s license or any other class of license authorized under Saskatchewan law for ride-hailing or vehicle-for-hire operations.
- License must be valid, active, and in good standing.
- Drivers must promptly notify Catch of any suspension, restriction, cancellation, or change to their licensing status.
• Vehicle Standards:
- The vehicle must be registered by the driver’s name or accompanied by proof of authorized use.
- Vehicle must comply with Saskatchewan vehicle-for-hire requirements and any applicable municipal bylaws.
- Vehicle must pass any required mechanical inspection and maintain valid registration and insurance coverage for ride-hailing or commercial use through Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) or another authorized insurer.
- Proof of valid vehicle registration, insurance, and inspection must be uploaded before activation.

3. Identity & Profile Verification
All drivers are required to upload:
• A clear, forward-facing profile photo without sunglasses, hats, or filters.
• The photo must clearly show the driver’s full face and shoulders, be well-lit, and be taken specifically for the Catch profile.
• A valid government-issued photo identification document matching the applicant’s account information.
Catch may use facial verification technology and other identity verification tools for safety, fraud prevention, and compliance, in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Saskatchewan privacy requirements.

4. Background Screening
All prospective drivers must complete criminal background and driving record checks before approval on the Catch Platform. Catch may use certified third-party providers to conduct these checks in compliance with Canadian and Saskatchewan laws.
The screening process may include:
• Criminal Record Check (CPIC), including searches permitted by law.
• Vulnerable Sector Check, where required for specialized services.
• Driver Abstract Review, including traffic violations, suspensions, restrictions, and demerit history.
• Verification of identity and licensing status.
• Additional screening measures permitted under applicable law and municipal licensing requirements.
All background checks require the applicant’s informed consent and written authorization. Catch does not discriminate based on protected grounds under the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code or Canadian human rights legislation.

5. Annual and Continuous Screening
• Catch may conduct annual re-screening of criminal and driving records for active drivers.
• Catch may use ongoing compliance monitoring systems, where available, to identify license suspensions, driving prohibitions, criminal charges, or other issues affecting eligibility.
• Drivers must immediately notify Catch of any changes to their license, insurance, registration, criminal status, or legal eligibility to provide ride-hailing services.

6. Random Compliance Audits
Catch reserves the right to conduct random audits, virtual verification reviews, or in-person meetings with active drivers to ensure compliance with this policy and Saskatchewan laws to provide updated copies of:
• Drivers licence
• Vehicle registration
• Insurance documentation
• Mechanical inspection certificates
• Additional compliance documentation reasonably requested by Catch
Failure to comply, refusal to cooperate, or submission of false, misleading, altered, or expired documentation may result in suspension or permanent removal from the platform.

7. Data Privacy and Retention
• Personal information collected during screening will be stored securely and used only for safety, verification, compliance, fraud prevention, and operational purposes.
• Catch complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Saskatchewan privacy and access legislation where required.
• Personal information will be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill legal, regulatory, operational, and safety obligations, and will then be securely destroyed or anonymized according to applicable retention practices.

8. Work Authorization and Immigration Compliance
• Catch does not guarantee immigration sponsorship, work permit extensions, or Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) support for drivers or applicants.
• Drivers are solely responsible for maintaining valid legal authorization to work in Canada.
• If a driver’s work authorization expires, becomes invalid, or is restricted in a way that affects eligibility, the driver may be suspended or removed from the platform until valid authorization is restored.

9. Disqualification and Reconsideration
Drivers may be disqualified, suspended, or deactivated if:
• Their background screening reveals serious criminal offenses, violent offenses, fraud-related offenses, or recent impaired driving convictions.
• Their license, registration, or insurance has expired, is suspended, is invalid, or has been revoked.
• They fail to meet Saskatchewan regulatory or municipal licensing requirements.
• They provide false, incomplete, misleading, or fraudulent information or documentation.
• They fail to comply with this policy or other Catch safety requirements.
Drivers may request reconsideration by submitting supporting documentation and a written explanation to admin@gotocatch.com. Catch will make final eligibility determinations in accordance with applicable law and safety standards.
