Let me preface this post by saying that my exposure to EJB was a 2 day
seminar and some example projects with JBuilder 4. So not much!

As others have mentioned, CORBA can be quite complex. Even if you get the
CORBA part figured out, it's not the "easy" way to access EJBs on the
server. Depending on the scope of your project, I would investigate writing
some "middleware" in Java to bridge the gap between your C# app and the
EJBs. The Java "middleware" can easily talk to the EJBs then you can use
whatever method you choose (i.e. NOT CORBA) to communicate between your C#
app and the Java "middleware". You might choose web services or simple
TCP/IP pipes, whatever you are comfortable with.

So, you would have the following:

C# app -> TCP/IP -> Java Middleware -> EJB on Server

Just an idea.
