Canadian French V-Chip Rating System
18+ (Adult) Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely violent
scenes.
16+ (Viewer 16 and over) Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains frequent
scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.
13+ (Viewer 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+ (Viewer 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.
