Canadian French V-Chip Rating System
18+ (Adults) Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely violent scenes.
16+ (Viewers 16 and over) Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains frequent scenes of violence or
intensely violent scenes.
13+ (Viewers 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This program either contains several violent
scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough to affect them. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore strongly recommended
for children under the age of 13.
8+ (Viewers 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most audiences, but it contains mild or
occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore recommended for young children
(under the age of 8) who do not distinguish between reality and imagination.
G (General Audience) This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence, or any violence that it does contain is either
minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature, or in an unrealistic way.
