Canadian Rating Systems
. The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programing.
• 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.
