If you are going to do this, and obey the rules, you need a TN (Trade 
NAFTA) Visa. They are a pain, but you have a right to one, if you 
qualify. You need paperwork (job offer, contract) and cost is USD60.

Lying to US border agents can keep you out of the US for a decade. Be 
careful.

Going for "Business Meetings" is a safe explanation for your trip. Three 
days is OK. Explain that you will be working in Canada if you get the 
contract as a result of the meetings.
