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.
