Not really. The rear light signal must be reprogramed to flash yellow instead of red (if LED). The dash board works as Canada is in metric and the dash board requires no replacement. (the new ones are digital so much easier as is al software that can be updated by a local dealer).
They also need to have fog lamps but all mine have that. Even my E84 X1 had no fog lights in the rear, but I have installed a new lights switch and everything worked like a charm since even the fog bulbs were installed in the rear.
If the tail lights have a red bulb signal in the rear, you will either replace the bulb with an amber one, either replace the tail light.
The laser headlights are also set to half length in Canada versus Europe as all BMW laser lights in Europe are set to shoot way longer once you passed 70 km/h.
