FYI  I'm in Toronto and have been finding INVs at a west end branch - same branch I found more than half of the INYs currently listed in the SNDB.

If there are no INV prefixes in Ontario at this point, this could mean that particular prefix could be a candidate for arriving to Atlantic Canada in due time.

I did see a $5 INT note inside a donation box last fall, and it was in the 3 million range.  I agree that we are long due to see the existing $5 notes with prefixes starting with H get replaced with the newer IN* prefixes.  Those particular H prefixes are at least five years old now, and should be due for replacement soon enough.

I do apologize but I forgot to add the INV prefix as I've seen them circulating around in Toronto but I haven't seen a INZ prefix yet.

Looks like the HB* series are starting to vanish and partially HC* series as I have been tracking my entry of $5 notes into the SNDB and I see the IN* prefix are starting to take over like you mentioned above. I heard that the next prefix will be IO* according to a member of this forum.

I’m from Atlantic Canada, and I haven’t yet seen any INV prefix notes. INT is starting to become quite common, but INU and up I have not spotted. I will be posting them to the SNDB when I find them.

I also noticed you reported a $100 HJB prefix to the SNDB (current low at this point) - early in February.  Is HJB starting to become common in your location now? If so, I bet HJD will be next, if it hasn't yet.  I find it is typical for Atlantic Canada to see three new prefixes max per year for each high-demand denomination (all except the tens). March/April, August, and December are typical periods when new banknotes appear in Atlantic Canada, it seems.  It's possible that HJB started appearing in Atlantic Canada prior to Christmas, and maybe you'll start seeing HJD now or maybe August, and another in December (either the Rogers-Macklem signatures, or maybe the currently elusive HJG).

Also, what is the latest $20 prefix found in your location lately?

I don't remember the last time I ever saw a $5 HB* prefix in my region.  I see mostly mid-HC through about INJ. sam's post about INT could be a sign that the Rogers-Macklem $5 notes could be on the horizon in Newfoundland.

If it follows the well established pattern the next prefixes will be IOA to IOZ, then IPA, IAA, IBA, ICA. This pattern has been used since the Birds notes.
