Typically, the Prime Minister is the leader of the largest party in the House of Commons. Therefore, theoretically to become Prime Minister, one must be selected as the leader of a federal political party and then lead the party to the largest number of seats in a federal election. Alternatively, being chosen as the leader of the largest party in parliament upon the resignation of the incumbent Prime Minister would lead to becoming Prime Minister.

To run for the position of Prime Minister of Canada, you need to be a member of a political party, have support from party members, and be chosen as the party leader. Once selected, the leader campaigns nationwide for the party in general elections, aiming to secure the most seats in the House of Commons. If successful, the leader can become the Prime Minister if their party forms a majority government or is able to form a coalition with other parties.
