Are you saying that software engineers in Canada are P. Eng licensed?
(If not, then your example is one where software engineers are misusing the protected term, but as they usually do not set up shop and mislead the general public into thinking they are certified, which would be the activity the protection is designed to thwart, the protection is rarely enforced.)
- 908B64B197 4y ago> Are you saying that software engineers in Canada are P. Eng licensed? That's my understanding. They don't have a PE exam like here in the US. To be P. Eng licensed, they have to graduate from an accredited engineering program and register with some board. And they do have Software Engineering programs (I know; I hired folks from these).

And they've started going after people in recent years, and winning, for using the term, "software engineer." https://engineerscanada.ca/sites/default/files/2022-08/2022-07%20CEO%20Software%20Engineer%20Title%20Letter-signed.pdf https://engineerscanada.ca/sites/default/files/2022-08/2022-... There are many folks in certain provinces arguing against regulation as, they claim, it makes it difficult for workers to compete in a global market where the term is common.
