that's not correct. You can't call yourself an engineer despite having it in your title unless you get a license granted by engineerscanada.

I guess you are taking issue with the fact that I said "get your title" instead of "get your license to use the engineering title".

So, you can legally call yourself a software engineer if you have your title. There are laws like this in most countries regarding medical doctors. This prevents Doctor of Acupuncture from appearing.
