Quebec skilled worker: does "software programmer" belong to governed profession?

[ccmania]

I have a question for Quebec skilled worker:

Quebec has a list of professions "governed by a professional order". Does software programmer or software engineer belong to such professions? I know little about French so it is hard for me to figure it out from the Quebec official website.

Can anybody help?

Another question: Does Quebec also use the federal "National Occupational Classification" (NOC) for job classification?

Thanks in advance!

Hi PMM, did you mean nobody can be both a programmer and an engineer in Canada? Sorry for asking dummy question but my English is not so good. Thank you!

Legally the only person who can call them selves an engineer in Canada is a person who has a degree in engineering.
