No. It was many years after Cartier landed on the shores of what is now Canada that the Northwest Passage was found. Many sailors attempted to find a passage through the arctic. Men like John Cabot, Francis Drake, James Cook, James Franklin and Martin Frobisher were among them and all failed until 1906 when Roland Amundsen spent three years successfully navigating the passage and later in 1944 it was done in one single seasons voyage by RCMP officer Henry Larsen.

What was john Cabot goals?
John Cabot's goal was to find the Northwest Passage, a passage that was believed would lead him to Asia. ============================================================================ Well, talking about the Northwest Passage puts us several years ahead of the voyage of John Cabot in 1497. The first of several expeditions to find a northwest passage was that of British mariner Martin Frobisher in 1576, more than three-quarters of a century after Cabot. John Cabot's major goal in 1497 was to reach the Orient by sailing westward across the Atlantic Ocean. At that time, Europeans were unaware of the existence of the continents of North America and South America. The issue of a northwest passage could not have arisen in 1497, because the fact of the way to the Orient being blocked by the Americas was still unknown. Furthermore, even the question of whether the Earth was flat or a sphere was still controversial. Over the next several years, a handful of European explorers searched various parts of the east coast of North America, looking for a way to the Orient. Every major indentation turned out to be just a bay. One of the last such explorers was Jacques Cartier, whose voyage in 1535-1536 was intended to find a route up the St Lawrence River and through the "New World" of the Americas. The St Lawrence was the last of the major indentations to be explored. When Cartier reached the present site of Montréal and found the way blocked by the Lachine Rapids, only then did thoughts about a way to the Orient begin to focus on the north. In one sense, Cabot did not attain his goal, because he did not reach the Orient. In another sense, he did achieve the goal of not falling off the end of the Earth. What Cabot discovered was the Isle of Newfoundland. Like Columbus, Cabot thought he had reached Asia.
