Engineer is a protected title in the UK. You can be a software engineer, if you are qualified to be.
It's not. https://www.engc.org.uk/glossary-faqs/frequently-asked-questions/status-of-engineers/

Same thing in Ontario. I actually have a Bachelors of Software Engineering, but am not legally allowed to call myself an engineer because I never got certified with the regulatory body.
