The Ojibwe/Ojibwa/Chippewa/Anishinaabe people were there long before Canada existed as a country. Their prehistoric migration to the North American continent took place long before written records were kept so we can never know exactly when it took place; the only definite information about the Ojibwe people comes from much later European explorers.
The first encounter was with French explorers who met them in the area where lakes Superior and Huron meet; the French called them "Saulteurs" or "people of the rapids". They may have numbered around 35,000 people at that time.
The Ojibwe began to expand along the south shores of Lake Superior in the 17th century, settling in what is now part of the USA. They became one of the major tribes all around the Great Lakes. The US bands became known as Chippewa while the Canadian bands were known as Ojibwe or Ojibwa; they are effectively the same word.
So during the historic period they migrated from Canada, not to it.

What landforms were there when the Chippewa Indians were alive?
The term "Indians" was designated and promoted as a racial identifier by Europeans who at the time claimed to be searching for a shortcut to India, a land also where Europeans exploited the indigenous populations and their resources.
