Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English ratings
and Canadian French ratings)
• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the
Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television
programming.
• While violence is the most important content element to
be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration
other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and
mature themes.
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can
choose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian
French ratings.
