Systems

(Canadian

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.
