Can you meet potential employer while tourist or not ? a Final answer ?

So - in a way - we should say it's a lottery and the final answer is: it all depends on the officer, it all depends on their mood, it all depend if you are asked or not.
Doesn't seem logic and rational for a legal and civilized Country as Canada is, but I take it as it is.

Entry into any country, even yours, always comes down to the border officer. It may not seem fair but that's how its done.

apologize me, but I don't agree. Law is Law, personal mood is another thing.
If the laws speaks clear there shouldn't be a problem.

In my country when a foregner if refused (for any reason) the person refused has the right to expose a complain.
If it gets proven that the denial was for a common non-sense or there was some dual attitude for same situation, than the border officer will be in trouble or will get a note.

The bottom line here is that it appears there's not a rule, there's not common procedure, and still I don't understand how could this ever be possible.

As a person who has gone through immigration in dozens of countries around the world, it always comes down to the border officer, even in Italy.

My parents landed in Rome a few years ago and were shocked at the obvious rampant racism shown by the Italian border officers. My parents breezed through immigration while another Canadian couple from their flight (brand new Canadian citizens, originally from Kenya) was very rudely interrogated for much longer and just treated unfairly. My mother said that looking around, generally all of the non-white people got a much harder time than the white people. I'm sure that some of them were refused on nothing more than the suspicions of border officers. All down to the "personal mood" of the officers.
