RATINGS AND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS 


Film Classification in Canada

In Canada, theatrical movie ratings are a provincial and territorial responsibility. There are a total of seven provincial film classification boards or offices, many of which use different rating systems and descriptors. Negotiations have begun to create a standard film classification system for Canada (with the exception of Quebec).

British Columbia classifies films for Saskatchewan and the Yukon. Alberta classifies films for the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Nova Scotia classifies films for the Maritimes system which includes New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Newfoundland and Labrador does not follow a film classification system.

Use the links below to see how films are classified in your province or territory.
