Yes, but as of a couple of months ago, "software engineer" title is exempt from those regulations.

I can't tell if the signature on that post is a parody or not:

> Jay Nagendran, P.Eng., FCAE, ICD.D, FEC, FGC (Hon.)

It's an official press release on the official website for the engineering regulator, so definitely not a parody. But boy, does it look like one!
