Emission test confusion

So I ve search my vin number and it says

No test required. Vehicles less than 7 years old do not require a test.
Postal Code: *****
Model Year: 2011
Expiry Date: March, 2016

This information is provided as a general guide only. Please refer to the Vehicle Licence Renewal Application sent out by the Ministry of Transportation which indicates if an emissions test is required for your vehicle, or contact the Drive Clean Call Centre at 1-888-758-2999.


I thought you need it emission test every 2 years before and someone told me it changed. So far so good , however my dad received a requirement for emission test on his 2011 dodge journey ??? , am I missing something here?
He bought it last year and the car is only 3 years old

the main reason for my question is that I really want to install the AA headers for my 328 but I m pretty sure I wont be able to pass emission test with it but if I dont need to do until my car is 7 years old then I can do it and no worry about it

Yea if your car is less than 7 years old you don't have to do it unless you sell it. My car didn't require it until the 7 year mark.

thats what I thought. But i m wondering why my dad received a letter stating he had to get it done. He said they did not hook up the sniffer , just the computer to scan the car. He bought the car last year
