Traveling to Canada
You should check with a Canadian embassy or consulate to see whether you need a visa to travel to Canada. Also note that if you have a non-direct flight with a connection in the U.S.A., you might need a U.S. Visa.
Airport to/from Downtown
A large number of airlines fly to Montreal and the Pierre Trudeau International Airport (YUL). The Aérobus provides transport to the downtown area (near the Berri-UQAM metro station) in about 20-30 minutes for $15 per person. Alternately, taxis are available just outside the terminal and cost about $40 to the conference venue. If you need to pay by credit card, check with the taxi driver before getting in.
