Here are the tests that they do in Ontario. Basi9cally the same tests that are checked by Torque's I/M Readiness. I would imagine that those States/Provinces that use the plug-in type test use the same process.
Ontario used to have only tailpipe test up until a couple of years ago but was probably too costly and limited the number of places you can test at. Now, quick lube places can quickly do the test.
You'll notice that I had a "not ready" for the evap test. That's because the rules here allow for one of the tests to not be ready, which makes sense because some tests, like the evap, don't run below a certain temperature.
On a side note, if you have tuned out a persistent error which no longer turns on the CEL, it will not detect it unless it's one of the "core" tests above. For example, I had the fan and P1345 codes turned off in a tune in my I6 TB. Passed with flying colours. I don't know what it would do if you tune out the SAIS and how the e-test would react to it. Maybe the software would know it's supposed to be there according to model and year, or maybe not.
