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 programming.

While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the rating also takes into consideration other program content, such as language, nudity, sexuality, and mature themes.

When setting controls on the Canadian rating systems, you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian French ratings.
