A bit off topic but please indulge me:
That's interesting to me. We're looser with the term "Engineer" here in Switzerland. So I wanted to ask, do you have Network Engineers in Ontario? If not what are the people who design, plan and implement new computer networks called instead?
Generally, we have levels of technical expertise based on how many years of schooling you did.
Of these, only "engineer" is a protected title in Ontario. But you can get additional certification through OACETT to become a Certified Technician (CTech) or Certified Technologist (CT).
So, depending on the person's education and training, they could be called a Network Technician, Network Technologist, or Network Engineer.
Slight correction - in Ontario it is 48 months of experience and EIT designation is not required. In fact, PEO paused that program to new applications (though they are working on a new one to be implemented at a later date). The exam is the NPPE (National Professional Practice Examination).

It seems that it's actually quite difficult to get qualifying experience if one does software, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11220591 (since the experience has to be obtained under a P.Eng and it has to fit the safeguarding of life, health, etc criteria (so the work to develop a new gaming app likely isn't going to count).
This is probably why so few folks in software actually have P.Eng as per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25826520 (regardless of if they use a title with Engineer in it or not).
