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.
He wanted to find gold and the Northwest passage.
Jacques Cartiers goals were to find a route to the Pacific thorough North America (a Northwest passage) but he did not find one. It was a search for the Northern Passage.
