The exact date unknown. Some estimates place it at around 1300 BCE to 1100 BCE. There is also a growing theory that the Hebrews never fought the Canaanite, but that they WERE the Canaanites. Jewish tradition, however, holds that the Hebrews were not related to the Canaanites.

According to Torah-chronology, Joshua fought the Canaanites from 1272 BCE until 1265 BCE.

Traditional chronology places the battle against the Canaanites from 1272 to 1265 BCE, spread over seven years. Non-traditional opinions put it at an earlier time. See also:

According to The Bible, the conquest by the Israelites of the land of the Canaanites occurred approximately 1400 BCE. We can best establish this date by working backwards through the biblical chronology from the destruction of Israel, which is known with certainty to have occurred in approximately 722 BCE. However, most scholars and historians of the ancient Near East now agree that there was no great conquest of Canaan and therefore no battle of the Israelites and Canaanites.

There's disagreement about dates that far back, but the Israelites fought the Canaanites in the neighborhood of 1400-1500 BCE.
