Notes:
Canadian French-language broadcasters use the classification system of the
Regie du cinema du Quebec (RCU), but they added one additional category (8+).
Broadcaster must still evaluate the programs themselves and cannot necessarily use the RCU
classification of a particular film or program. Even if a Canadian channel is airing a foreign-produced program, it must
put a Canadian rating on it.

Guidance states:
"For the Classification of Content warning, a color system similar to the warning traffic light mode was implemented. This
system is only an aid or guide for the spectators and their families, using the green color for classification A and AA, yellow
for the classifications B and B15 and red for C and D."
However no explicit examples are provided showing how color is to be used (i.e. as background, as border, etc.). [

Applies to a film, music compilation, karaoke or serial.
VOD and OTT services offering content rated NC16 and above are required to offer a parental lock feature that allows subscribers
to limit the access of such content to their children. To further ensure children are not accidentally exposed to Restricted
21 (R21) content on VOD and OTT, such programmes must be locked by default and can only be accessed by entering an R21 PIN.
