[can.general] travel expenses and UNICOM

Does anyone out there know if personal expenses for trips to UNICOMs
can be deducted from your income tax.  I am a student and like to
consider the conferences educational (as well as a good excuse for a
vacation).  The problem is they cost too much for me to keep going
to them (students are notoriously poor).  A tax break would help a
little bit, but it seemed from the tax guide that I couldn't even
claim the registration fee.  Someone else in can.netland must have
knowledge of this - any info would be appreciated.
