Success Story: Ajmal

From International Site Experience to a Canadian Estimator Role

Ajmala A came to Canada with strong hands-on experience in construction estimation, having worked on large residential, commercial, and institutional projects in India. With a civil engineering background and years of preparing quantity take-offs, BOQs, and cost estimates, she knew the technical side well. But transitioning that experience into the Canadian construction market wasn’t easy different standards, local expectations, and employer trust made the process slower than expected.

After joining Infilysis in June 2025, the focus was on aligning her international experience with Canadian construction practices. Her resume was refined to highlight project scale, estimating accuracy, and tool proficiency, while her job search was structured to target the right employers. Ajmala secured a Mechanical Estimator role at Liffey Mechanical Inc. a stable position with strong growth potential, proving that with the right strategy, international experience can translate into real Canadian opportunities.

⦁ Being “overqualified” doesn’t mean employers see your value without proper positioning.
⦁ Technical skills need to be packaged in the right way for the Canadian job market.
⦁ With structure and coaching, rejections can quickly turn into offers.
