Well Mr. Bot the when is an estimate, between 11,000 years ago, and 35,000 years Before Present, with most of the evidence being for an arrival via the Bearing land bridge about 12,000 B.P. .

In what is today Canada the many periods of glaciation, literally wiped the slate clean with each advance and retreat of ice kilometers thick. If there had been people living in what is today Canada before or between the ice ages the evidence was lost to forces so great it scoured the land clean down to bed rock.

There is very clear evidence that people where on the West Coast about 12,000 years.

Any peopling that occurred before that were not related to modern bands whose genetics clearly support an arrival of 12,000 years ago. In the case of the far north we do know the people there are not the first.
