1) where the best places to land (near Vancouver)

For GA, Boundary Bay airport is probably your best bet.

That's where I landed. Friendly place, about CAN$45 for a cab to downtown
Vancouver from Delta. Stay near Canada Place (a "landmark facility" on
the water) or BC Place (a stadium) and you'll be within walking distance
of Stanley park (which would take days to fully explore), Chinatown, the
art museum, and ferries to the science museum and Granville island. When
we were there the busses were CAN$2 and you could get to other attractions
like the gardens that way.

Boundary Bay does think like a big airport and they have a lot of VFR
procedures (and associated landmarks) that they'll expect you to know.
