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.

the screen during captioned broadcasts.
