You could move to Alberta. Techncially the term "engineer" is protected... though typically it's not enforced
OK, just looked up the rules, they follow apparently it's only PROFESSIONAL engineer that is really protected which makes enforcement difficult:
Exclusive use of name engineer
3(1) No individual, corporation, partnership or other
entity, except a professional engineer, licensee or
permit holder entitled to engage in the practice of
engineering, shall
(a) use
(i) the title âprofessional engineerâ, the
abbreviation âP. Eng.â or any other abbreviation of
that
title, or
(ii) the word âengineerâ in combination with any other
name, title, description, letter, symbol or
abbreviation that represents expressly or by
implication that the individual, corporation,
partnership or other entity is a professional
engineer, licensee or permit holder,
or
(b) represent or hold out, expressly or by
implication, that the individual, corporation,
partnership or
other entity
(i) is entitled to engage in the practice of
engineering, or
