• 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.
