If the OP doesn't like Canada, there's always Texas...
I'm willing to help out with the airfare.
Ask, ask, and ask respectfully. Millions of gracious Canucks that will allow you to hunt on their land if you ask and treat them and their land respectfully.
I'm American and have never been told no when requesting to hunt or target shoot on farm/ranch land. I don't post harvest/kill pictures out of respect for them and I offer them the money on the coyote hides from their property. I help drag chains to unstick their combine, or whatever when I see them in trouble in their fields.
I also met some fine local hunters and was invited to join their hunt club(22 members) and I can hunt Crown land and do some times.
Funny, the harder I try, the luckier I get, however it does take some effort. I visit the co-ops and farm auctions etc. which helps.
You can do it.

The percentage of BC hunting that takes place on private land is pretty small compared to Crown Land hunting. Obviously private land hunting takes place, but it's not nearly as common as public land hunting. Few people buy ranches or farms just to hunt it.

Go to a store or online and look at the hunting regs

Indeed, to reiterate the stats 94% of BC is crown land. Pretty well only little ribbons along the major corridors are private, of course access becomes more difficult the further from private you go which is a good thing.

SHUT UP!
There is no hunting here. We killed all the animals. They were scrawny and tasted bad anyway. No fish left, either. And no jobs. All the pretty girls move to Toronto or Vancouver as soon as they are old enough. Stay away.
First off don't get Dispondent, join one of the bc. Hunting forums, (there are 3) - hell why not join all three and stick with the one that you feel most comfortable on....
This forum is a national one and you really need to narrow it down a lot.
When I came here 10 years ago, I felt the way you do - few guys will give you the time of day, let alone good pointers especially not on an open forum like this, if they do, guaranteed it will overrun is a matter of days / weeks.
Remember all these great honey holes you hear about or see in trail cam pics, are on public land, so nothing stops you finding them and hunting in them.
If you need any further help or information send me a pm and I'll try and help if I can....

Any direction but south of PG is pretty good more crown/less private land. But that's 10 hours north of you, yet everyone else from the LML seems to make up here come September. I heard it was bad on the island, but ive never heard anyone #####ing about lack of access in BC. Ive never and highly doubt anyone I hunt with has of ever hunting on private land in BC, its like swimming in a pool right beside the ocean. Like ardent said, most of the private land is within a stones throw of the major corridors, get away from them. Bc backroads is a great resource.
Timberwest land on the Island is a major source of discontent. But that's only on southern Vancouver Island

Than go back where you came from. Good riddance
That's a pretty ignorant comment even for this forum.
OP's attitude needs correcting, but he's also reaching out to fellow Canadians in his newly adopted homeland. Great opportunity to educate and welcome another into the fold.
A little over the top, pardner.
