Most (all?) Linux filesystems do not store the time when the file was created. Instead, they just store when the file was last modified, when it was last accessed, and when it last had an administrative action applied to it (e.g., changing its permissions). Of those, the best approximation to what you’re looking for is usually the modification time.
