I wonder how you did that? Did you trace it with the pen tool in Illustrator? Chances are the svg contains a polyline (an object) rather than a path. Open the SVG in an editor, should tell you. If that is the case you can convert the object to a path in Inkscape. example attached. Another indicator is opening the svg in Gimp, tick the Import paths and no paths in the paths dialogue. You can also import a path from an svg from the path dialogue, no path? Complain to Adobe. As previous post, no good using selection -> selection to path which will give an outline. You might actually have the whole canvas selected. If that is the way you want to go, you need a center-line trace. You can do that in Inkscape providing you have Autotrace installed. There is a plugin for Gimp that works with simple images see: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17485 Also need Autotrace.
