How do I find out where Crown land is available to purchase in BC, for
residential use? Does the price vary? What is the procedure for
purchasing it? How long does it take? I am looking for land
specifically near Revelstoke in BC. Do you have to be a Canadian
citizen to buy Crown Land?

Thanks,
Andy.

Alas, it won't be possible, as it seems:

"How do I acquire Crown land? 
British Columbia no longer provides land for homesteading. Crown land
is available for sale or lease at fair market value for specific
purposes. Where land is readily available through the real estate
market, it will not be supplied from the Crown land base, which is
already needed for many competing uses."

Thanks for your reply. It seems as though some people do acquire Crown
land in BC for residential property though. See

applications.
