That's technically true in many US states as well, but I've never heard of it being enforced outside of the fields where many practitioners are licensed (mostly Civil Engineering, to a much lesser extent Electrical and Mechanical Engineering).

- _delirium 13y agoIn practice, I don't believe any U.S. states attempt to regulate the mere linguistic usage of the word "engineer", the way that Canada does. Pretty much anyone can call themselves an engineer, or have the word "engineer" in their job title. What's regulated is that there are certain situations, mainly in civil engineering, in which a required document can only be signed off on by someone with a state engineering license.
