I had exactly this last week in Vancouver, very swift given how long the queue was (British citizen if that helps).
"Why are you visiting Canada?"
"I"m here for a conference"
"What's the conference about?"
"Computer vision, you know, programming research"
"How long are you staying?"
"A week"

There was a point on the outbound journey where they were checking everyone's passports by the scanner (i.e. you'd go through and everyone would set the alarm off, but it seemed to be a passport check rather than anything else), as soon as they saw it was British they lost interest.

It does, the lineups at Toronto's Pearson Int'l airport are longer for Canadians in my experience.
