On Cartier's second voyage to the new world, he went as far upstream as present-day Montréal. There he discovered that it was impossible to get any further upstream because the way was blocked by the Lachine Rapids. Therefore, it was then clear that there was no navagable water route through the continent of North America.
Jacques Cartier went on 3 separate expeditions. 1. 1534 2. 1535 3. 1541- 1542 However, he is most famous for his expedition in 1535. This is when Cartier discovered and named the St. Lawrence River in the New World (Canada).

Jacques Cartier
Jacques Cartier was a French explorer who claimed what is now modern-day Canada for France. He was born in Saint-Malo in the French region of Brittany in 1491. He sailed to what is now known as Canada in 1534; he was the first European to see Prince Edward Island, the St. Lawrence River, what is now modern-day Montreal, and the homes of many Iroquois and other First Nations tribes. Cartier sailed to Canada three times before his death in France in 1557.
Yes, Jacques Cartier named the St. Lawrence river, after a catholic saint. Since there was a priest on board with him, Cartier asked which saint's birthday was the closest day of discovery, and St. Lawrence's birthday (or feast day) was the closest.
