Just recently built a site with Codeigniter after trying out Cake and Laravel. Codeigniter is really easy to implement and its pretty powerful and lightweight out of the box. I do understand what you mean, its like building Wordpress for so long and suddenly you get a project in Joomla. Suddenly your flow is disrupted and you have to "downgrade" to another framework/platform. In terms of converting, I think it would be best if you suggest refactoring it from bottom up. Since you mentioned its built in a foreign country, I am certain the variables, function naming conventions, file structure, etc aren't on point.
