Not quite. All engineers are professional engineers. The term engineer is protected and you are not an engineer unless you also are a professional engineer. No P.Eng. then you're not allowed to advertise yourself as an engineer.
The vast majority of people without P.Eng do not advertise themselves as engineers as deception, as it's their employers which have given this title. If that is still against the law, I suppose I am witness to many thousands of companies breaking the law by employing many more thousands of people that they have labelled as engineer, yet without P.Eng.
LinkedIn would be a simple search on this. Can you say why there are no fines or action being taken? I work with hundreds who have been given the engineer title, yet many more of us do not have P.Eng designation than those that do. How on Earth have the thousands upon thousands of us not been contacted even once in our decade(s) of employment, over multiple companies? We are openly breaking the law, after all, correct?
I believe the employees personally would be exempt, correct? As they are have been given these titles by their employing body and not self proclaiming a different title given upon them.
