Surely someone must know where Canadian money is printed?

Mexico. The new polymer bills are made by Innovia Security. There is a lot of great information on their web site. The Canadian bills are most likely made in Mexico as they have a factory there. Where they are printed would be confidential information so you would not have the company or the Bank of Canada openly say where they are made. They do say they make the currency for Canada just not where.

Just to clarify as well the printing is all part of the manufacturing of the bill. You have the bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) layer which is the substrate of the bill and then you have four opacification print layers which are formed to the BOPP making it one single piece of material. The printing is not and cannot be done after. It is an integral part of the process and that is why it is near impossible to counterfeit.

Everyone should watch the documentary "Oh Canada" to understand how currency comes into existence. It will shock you. I was shocked about how my local media station CKCO TV censored the news and put a whole different spin on a news story related to the host of the documentary.

None of that money is printed in my basement. Seriously. Honest to God, I swear I do not print any in my basement! I really hope you believe me.

I have been googling like crazy and I can't get a "authoritative" answer to this.

I know that the Bank of Canada is not really a Canadian bank, but it is a "corporate body" (corporation?)
Speaking of the above is there an actual "Canadian Bank" that has the power to print money?
The Mint makes coins.
Some outfit in Germany use to print our Canadian paper notes.
And I've determined that "maybe" an Australian company prints the plastic notes (or at least they invented it/them).

Anyone know this?

Thanks!

I've heard there's an underground bunker on the D.N.D. grounds in Nanaimo and the activities there are apparently top secret, so you may start looking there, if you can get a key! -:)

Innovia does not have a factory there. The process for the polymer bill was invented in Australia so they have a factory there, but it would not make sense to have it made there when there is a factory in North America. Mexico makes total sense.

Canadian notes are printed by a company called Innovia Security, in Melbourne Australia. The company prints noted for 24 different countries including Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Mexico.

The 'Minister if Finance' explaining what money is is near the start and that really sums up the whole Canadian Political system in a 'nut-shell' as they are all fuking nuts.

Were weird in the UK because we have different banknotes (but the same coins) in different parts of the country.

There could be a good (and obvious) reason why the location would be undivulged! :) :)
