Yes the Viking discovered North America/Canada first.
You mentioned Columbus as the person who discovered North America and it was this I reacted on. You could say North America and South America stayed unknown for hundreds of years-Even though there are historical report indicating that there has been visitors in South America and North America before Columbus and Amerigo.
