> Certification does exist....it's not widely used or accepted

That's an understatement. Was speaking to a fellow engineer recently, and he claimed that there are really only two licensed software engineers in all of Toronto. We probably have tens of thousands of software developers.

The only place where I've seen the certification as a requirement is govt jobs (and UfT I believe).

Apart from those two, I've yet to find even a reference for it (let alone a requirement) - which is a cycle because one of the requirements of being a PEO is 12 months of work experience under a PEO (which won't happen as there aren't enough PEOs - the chicken and egg problem).

Can you link to the U of T job with the cert requirement?
