In Ontario, basically the professional engineering organization complains about people using the term Software Engineer, and occasionally goes after a big company because of it, meanwhile on a day to day basis everyone uses the term anyways.
If you’re applying for jobs from companies that are not based in this province, and refuse to call yourself a software engineer, you’ll be passed over for someone equally qualified from one state over who will.
When you’re on a team and you’re the only one in Ontario, you’re not going to insist that you don’t refer to your team as the engineering team.
