The Bank may not issue an order to immediately withdraw all old $5s, but I highly doubt they will distribute bricks of old notes to banks after the new notes are released. Further, any notes that actually make it back to the Bank of Canada will likely have the old series notes pulled and new notes issued instead. The question is whether or not the Bank will issue an order instructing all banks to actively withdraw the 2002 $5s.
