The year 1000
Newfoundland, Canada, called Vinland.
Leif Erikson was born around 970 AD, and he is believed to have met King Olaf I of Norway around 1000 AD. This would make Leif approximately 30 years old at the time of their meeting. Leif's encounter with King Olaf is often associated with his conversion to Christianity and his later influence in promoting the faith among the Norse.
the vikings did not originate in Canada. they are said to have originated in the Sweden- Iceland area. They did immigrate to Canada, though. Bjarni Herjolfsson was said to be the first Icelandic viking to land in Canada, but he isn't the official one. He was on his way to Greenland but lost his way, landing in Labrador or Baffin Island in Canada.A small settlement was discovered in Canada, and it it theorized that it was inhabited by a people of Viking-Eskimo extraction before being abandoned in the Middle Ages.Leif Ericson was born in Iceland, but moved to Greenland in 986. That same year Bjarni Herjolfson, who was following Ericson to Greenland, missed the island and sailed in a south-westerly direction and sighted both the Labrador coast and Newfoundland.And so hearing of Bjarni Herjolfson's adventures, Leif Ericson led the first voyage the North America around 1000 A.D.

Please rephrase your question to make it understandable for others. If you mean: "when did he find Iceland", the answer is that he was born there. Iceland had been discovered by the Vikings long before.
