The Prime Minister of Canada remains in office as long as they are able to control the majority of votes in the Parliament. As of 2007, a law was passed fixing election dates to every 4 years, but the Prime Minister need not change after the election.

Canadian Prime Ministers do not have a prescribed term of office. Rather, they serve at Her Majesty's pleasure. A Canadian prime minister, generally, may hold office for as long as they can command the support of a majority of members of the elected House of Commons, re-asserted at each general election, otherwise they are expected to resign. A prime minister may also be dismissed by the Governor General of Canada.

There are no term limits for a prime minister. A prime minister may remain in office as long as she or he maintains the confidence of the House of Commons.

Canada is a parliamentary democracy, and a parliamentary system of government does not require any term limits.
