Answer 1
There is no evidence ... historic, archaeological, or Biblical ...
that the Canaanites ever oppressed Israel.
Answer 2
The Bible does note that there are stretches of time during which Canaanites or people from the surrounding nations (such as Edomites, Moabities, or Arameans) oppressed certain tribes in Israel, but this occurred intermittently and never over the entire Israelite territory. Furthermore, the nature of this oppression was markedly different between every oppressive tribe and oppressed Israelite tribe. Some confiscated material wealth while others raped and pillaged. However, the Judges period (according to the Bible) takes roughly 400 years of which around half of the time one tribe or another was being oppressed.

How many years did Canaan oppress Israel?
According to the Book of Joshua, the Israelites conquered the entire land of the Canaanites and in doing so killed every person they found in the land. In spite of this, the Canaanites survived and according to the Book of Judges were soon, miraculously, able to oppress the Israelites. The period of the Judges is given in the Bible as 410 years, although in later years the main threat came from the Philistines and there were long periods of peace.However, historians and biblical scholars say there was no military conquest of Canaan and that the Israelites were themselves rural Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities and settled peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. A glorious but legendary history evolved centuries later, telling of conquests under Joshua and of subsequent trials and oppression, with the Israelite God YHWH providing salvation when the Israelites were prepared to obey and worship him. Thus, these stories of oppression by the Canaanites were, in large part, legendary.
What military and spiritual battles did Israel face as they moved into the land of Canaan at the time of the Conquest?
Military: They were commanded by God to take the land from the Canaanites (Deuteronomy ch.1 and many other passages). Spiritual: they were commanded not to imitate the ways of the Canaanites (Leviticus ch.18 and many other passages).
