Default Exporting a 2013 SXL from the US to Canada - Mods required?

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with importing a 2013 Optima SXL from the US to Canada, specifically what modifications will be required.

I bought mine about a month ago and I love it but will need to import into Canada sooner than I expected due to some job issues.

Its got LED daytime running lights but there is an off switch which I know will be an issue when importing.

The odometer is in miles but its all electronic so I'm hoping both of these are simple software updates that can be done at a Kia dealer.

Does anyone know for sure?

I'm all up to speed on the actual paperwork on the actual importation having just done it with a 2012 Chevy Traverse in August. (If anyone has any questions about that feel free to PM me, its actually pretty simple and fairly painless)

Its the technical changes that will be required I'm trying to get my head wrapped around. Thanks for your reply though.
