> So, Fred, are you going to tell immigration you're there as a tourist or to work?   That's the whole crux of it.  There is the referenced website in this thread about conferences, expos, etc. that suggests you don't need a VISA for those, but that's not an official website.

When asked by immigration why I am there I answer something like “I am attending an IETF meeting at the Fairmont Hotel in Montreal”.   That is truthful and avoids the work issue.  I haven’t been rejected yet :-)
