That is not known. There are about 1600 tornadoes recorded worldwide on average. However, the real number is almost certainly much higher as many countries do not keep records of their tornadoes.

Does a tornado happen often or seldom?

It depends on where you live. Tornadoes happen fairly often in the US as a whole, mostly during the spring or fall. However, they typically affect a very limited area. Even though the US is the most tornado-prone area in the world (for example, Europe is slightly larger than the US, but the US has four times as many tornadoes), there are almost no intense (>3 on the Fujita scale) tornadoes west of the Rocky Mountains.
