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.
