It looks like some of your source coordinates are swapped. If the area of interest isn't too large and should relatively near Vancouver, all x values should be >1 million. Thus point 1, 9, 13, etc need their values swapped.

What you need to do is first display your CSV in the proper coordinate system (BC Albers) so QGIS can then re-project it to Google Maps Mercator (3857).
EPSG:3857 -- WGS84 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere) is what you want.
So what you need to do is add your CSV to QGIS using 'Layer > Add Layer > Add Delimited Text Layer'.
Choose the default options in the first window:
The next window will ask you what coordinate system you want to use to display your X and Y values. You know it is in BC Albers, so choose that option in the dialogue box:
Now your points - still in BC Albers - will display in QGIS - but this is tricky because you will have a hard time displaying the various OpenLayers backgrounds with this data.
Here are the points on their own:
The last step is to actually re-project your data to Google Maps projection
Right-click the sample (CSV / delimited) layer in QGIS > Save As
Format: ESRI Shapefile
Save as: give your new SHP a name
CRS: Selected CRS > choose EPSG:3857 WGS84 / Psuedo Mercator**
Click OK to export and re-project your CSV to SHP in 3857
Now create a new map (to reset the coordinate system of the QGIS project)
Add your SHP you saved, and from the Web > OpenLayers menu add one of the basemaps:
That should do it!
Updates:
**The difference between EPSG:3857 and EPSG:3785 in QGIS is confusing, and I'm not exactly sure what the purpose of 3785 is... Most if not all web map systems are published using EPSG:3857 yet in QGIS the description for 3785 is "Popular Visualization CRS / Mercator" and the description for the CORRECT web mercator is "WGS 84 / Pseudo Mercator". I will take up this issue somewhere else!
Update #2: I see in this thread that 3785 is the deprecated version of the 'google maps' coordinate system... I hope QGIS can make note of this soon...

If you're looking for lat/longs, then 4326 is your destination coordinate system.

Thanks Mintx 4326 looks more like lat and long but what I am getting are wrong coordinates!

Could you give an example of a coordinate before and after converting?

It looks like some of your source coordinates are swapped. If the area of interest isn't too large and should relatively near Vancouver, all x values should be >1 million. Thus point 1, 9, 13, etc need their values swapped.
