A: I.T. is NOT a licensed field. There is no need for licensure yet. While in the rest of the world, you are doing Network Engineering, in Canada you could be described as a Network and Internet Technologist/Specialist/Consultant eliminating the confusion of maybe needing a license with the term Engineer. The Professional engineering bodies are looking very suspciously at IT as possibly requiring licensure, but it's not there yet, and at the moment the way to avoid this is to avoid the term "engineer" in your job title and description of your position.
