Nina, immigration didn't give you the new green card yet? Did they send you a letter that it will be replaced or do you have the documentations? If you have those, bring them with you, just in case. Eh...you don't have a driver's license, do you?
Not to scare you but just last year, my classmate went to Canada w/o green card for a short vacation. Lost his driver's license but had the temporary paper. However, he was detained at the border for almost 5 hours. He kept explaining but the officers did not take his explanations. Fortunately, one of the senior officers who came for his shift decided to take my friend's word and checked the records.
Since yours is of work nature, you should be fine. Have as much sushi as you can, since your company would be paying for it. Get the expensive ones at the sushi bars. Enjoy! :p
