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.
