Canada has representatives.

There are Members of Parliament (MP's) and Members of Provincial Parliament (MPP's). MPP's are also known as MLA's (Members of the Legistlative Assembly).

The federal representation by election of the people of Canada are the MP's. The Prime Minister (Head of Parliament, aka PM) is the leader of the party with the most popular vote. i.e. He/she happens to be the leader of the party with the most percentage of votes, not elected as a separate position. This person is not always the one individually with the most popular vote. Senators are appointed by the Parliamentary body (possibly either the PM or the Parliament and not by election). This is what makes Canada's political representation by election, based solely on geographical population concentration, not equal across the country. Eg. Ontario at one time had 99 seats but Alberta much fewer.

The life-time term of the Governer-General is appointed.
