APEGA’s website says it has “the legal right and requirement” to restrict the practice and use of titles linked to engineering and geoscience to licensed individuals and companies.

An open letter signed by the leaders of each provincial and territorial engineering regulator in Canada in July said use of “software engineer,” “computer engineer” and other information technology titles with the engineer suffix is prohibited everywhere in Canada unless the person using it is licensed by one of their regulatory groups.

When his Edmonton-based home services platform first heard from APEGA about its use of engineering titles, he says it put disclaimers on its website to differentiate its workers from the positions APEGA regulates. Later, Jobber was sued by APEGA in December 2021. A 2019 report from the Information and Communications Technology Council, a not-for-profit organization offering labour policy advice, predicted demand for digitally-skilled talent in Canada would reach 193,000 by 2022 and more than 305,000 by 2023.
