The Canadian Bank Note Company (CBNC) is a Canadian security printing company. It is best known for holding the contract with the Bank of Canada to supply it with Canada's banknotes since 1935. The company's other clients include private businesses, national and sub-national governments, central banks, and postal services from around the world. In addition to banknotes, the company produces passports, driver's licences, birth certificates, postage stamps, coupons, and many other security-conscious document-related products. It also prints and provides document reading systems for identification cards, lottery tickets, stamps, and banknotes.
From 1897 until 1923, CBN was a unit of the New York–based American Bank Note Company (now known as ABCorp). It was later a privately held company when it was acquired by Ottawa businessman Charles Worthen; beginning in 1976 Douglas Arends slowly acquired control of the company.[1] It has since been based in Ottawa, Ontario.
Since 2014, the Canadian Bank Note Company has been the chief provider for machine-readable passports used within the Caribbean Community bloc of countries.[2][3] The majority of the new CARICOM passports as they are called serve the union as a centerpiece of promoting easy travel within the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME).[4]

Canada's new polymer bank notes. Secure Durable Innovative The leading-edge security features in Canada's new bank notes make them easy to check and hard to counterfeit. A good way to check these high-quality new bank notes is to feel, look at, and flip them. One of the first things you'll notice is the smooth texture of the note. It's made from a single piece of polymer. Feel the raised ink in these areas: the large number; the shoulders of the portrait; the Bank of Canada text. Next, look at the note. Two transparent windows have security features in them: the frosted maple leaf window and the large window. There's a metallic portrait that matches the large portrait. Look at the details in this image. There's also a metallic building in this window. Look at the details and then tilt the note. Notice the sharp colour changes in the building. The colour changes in the portrait are more subtle. In and around the window, you can see small numbers. Some of the numbers are reversed. Some of the leaves that border the window cross into it. Flip the bank note over. You will see the same security features in the large window on the front repeated in the same colours and detail on the back. There's one more security feature you can check. You need a single-point light source. Locate the frosted maple leaf window. It has a transparent outline. Place the window very close to your eye. By looking through it, at a single-point light source, you will see a circle of numbers matching the note's value appear through the window. Canada's new polymer bank notes. Secure Durable Innovative
