    Go to Calgary or anywhere in Alberta really.

    Contact a few of the main Engineering consultants in the city. You will have no problems at all.

    Even though out on site people all deal in imperial measurements all drawings are still done in metric.

    Revit is becoming more popular though so it would be a good idea to have Revit experience.

    Good luck
