If, on the embark screen, it showed 'no trade' on the neighboring civs then, no you wont get any trade.  If you are saying that on the 'C'iv screen you see nothing, that is normal for a new fort, as civs do not show up there until they have actually entered your map.

that's not true. i've tested this for the dwarves in 31.03 and they still showed up in autumn. didn't test it for the elves and humans but it should be the same.

You always get a Dwarven Caravan, but if you dont have contact with any civilizations, thats all youll get.
