CBN is currently printing all the Canadian Bank Notes.
The Single Note Inspection is done by BAI. The Bank of Canada has let out a contract starting in 2013 and running until 2018 which is with BAI whose parent company is G&D which is a giant in the currency and security business in its own right.
Here is the link on the public disclosure portion of the Bank of Canada website with that information:

This is a paramount security issue for the printers and so it would make sense that the details are not available as to how the sheets are transported etc.
Every single note that is printed is gone through the Single Note Inspection process since 2013. This has been confirmed with the Bank of Canada. That means all $5 and $10 notes have gone through this process.
In an earlier discussion on this forum I had mentioned that the reason for the bundles to be all mixed up is because of the Single Note Inspection Process.
The machine that is used for Single Note Inspection (SNI) is manufactured by G&D. Not only are new notes processed through the SNI even circulated notes are processed through the same type of machine when they are returned to the Bank of Canada. The Bank of Canada at least has two such machines. They use these machines to remove notes from circulation.
