The accepted date is 1721, when Robert Walpole became Prime Minister.The position of Prime Minister was not created; it has evolved slowly and erratically over three hundred years. Its origins are found in constitutional changes that occurred during the Revolutionary Settlement (1688-1720) and the resulting shift of political power from the Sovereign to Parliament. Early Prime Ministers (1720-1784) were at best ambivalent about that description; many refused to acknowledge or use the title. The position was given little formal recognition and was not mentioned in legal documents. Between 1784 and 1911, numerous accidents of history and political developments led to unofficial but popular acceptance of the office. By the 1830s, the Prime Minister became "first among equals" in the Cabinet and Head of Her Majesty's Government. By the turn of the 20th century, the modern Premiership had emerged; it had become the preeminent position in the constitutional hierarchy vis-a-vis the Sovereign, Parliament and Cabinet. Early in the century, legislation marginalized the influence of the House of Lords in the law-making process and indirectly enhanced the Prime Minister's power, giving rise to concerns that the office had become too "presidential". Later, however, several acts and political changes placed some limits on the Premier's authority. (Source wikipedia)

There is no maximum. Theoretically a Canadian can be a Cabinet Minister from the age of 18 (the minimum voting age in the country) until death. The oldest Canadian lived to be about 116, so the maximum term for a Canadian Cabinet Minister is approximately 100 years. This has never happened. A Cabinet Minister in Canada in almost every case has to be a member of the party which holds the majority in the House of Commons, and it is unusual for any party to hold such a majority for more than 30 years.
