In Canada the title of engineer requires professional certification. Programmers are usually called software developers. Computer engineers exist but they generally do hardware/chip design or low level systems programming.

Agreed. People struggle to justify calling computer science grads as scientists or engineers when developer is the perfect term to use for them.
