To get a scrollable canvas you will need to apply several tricks to
it. I would start suggesting by embedding a single frame at position
0, 0 on it, and then create all the other widgets using this frame as
the parent. Next you will need to wait the widgets appear (with
wait_visibility) and then adjust the scrollregion of the Canvas, as
well its width to something reasonable, and possibly how much the
scrollbars scrolls.

I'm leaving only the tips right now because I'm leaving right now.
Nevertheless, you can find several implementations of those through
Google.
