Not sure if Canada and US are different. It shouldn't be. When I hooked up the Diagnostic/Update tool. It first updated the calibration files to the tool dated Jan 5th. I checked all systems on my car and only ECM/PCM/DCT had an updated file to be applied. Now I did this on Jan.16th ask your dealer maybe in a week or so to check your car again. So far my DCT is behaving very nicely.

My service adviser said the new software update has arrived. But he needs to test it on his loaner cars first. Fingers crossed that Acura will fix the transmission problems with this update. I suggest that you call your service adviser to inquire about this update.

Update with my TLX's transmission (8-spd DCT) after PCM (TCM) software update (released on 2/2/15). I have driven my TLX for 4 days with mostly city driving. I can confidently say this is by far the best update with noticeable improvement. I recommend people experiencing abnormal transmission problems consult with their service adviser and ask for this update. I believe Acura has it in the service bulletin already. Below is the complete description from my invoice.
"PCM software 2235A2-223092-223099-03214 1.10 per super tech meeting updated TCM with new software and performed break in procedure. Test drove and car drove much better!!"
I hope this helps.
