Isn it true that I can work in engineering without getting the P.Eng.?
You can work in engineering without a licence provided you work under the supervision of a P.Eng. who takes responsibility for your work. But you cannot take public or private responsibility for your own work, or be in charge of the engineering work you do, until you have been licensed as a P.Eng. by the engineering licensing body in the province or territory where you work. You are not legally an engineer or a professional until you have the P.Eng.
