That depends on how far away the star is. If the exploding star is 1,000 light years away we would see the supernova 1,000 years later. If it is 2,000 light years away we would see it 2,000 years later.

Would Earth be affected when VY Canis Majoris explodes as a supernova?

Given the fact we are 5000 light years away from VY Canis Majoris, I doubt it would do much damage to Earth. However, Earth could be hit by a large gamma ray burst, but that is unlikely. Also, when the star does explode we will be able to see it from Earth, and it will outshine the galaxy for weeks and months.
