Theoretically, there should be at least thousands of intelligent civilizations in the galaxy, assuming that the rare Earth hypothesis is false. Assuming these alien civilizations are at the same or have surpassed our technological level, we'll find them soon enough. If not, then they're difficult to detect (Humans themselves would probably have been undetectable to an alien civilization until about a 100 years ago with the advent of radio).
The odds are that we'll probably find some sort bacteria first, either fossilized (perhaps on Mars), or living, perhaps on the Galilean Moon of Europa.
