For Canada, the House of Commons lasts for no longer than 5 years.Once formed, the House of Commons can last for up to 5 years, subject to be sooner dissolved by the Governor General (generally on the advice of the prime minister). If a Parliament were to reach 5 years from the date of its summons, it would "expire"-no Canadian Parliament has ever expired, all have been dissolved earlier on the advice of the prime minister.Members of the House of Commons do not have term restrictions-they can be elected as many times and for as long as they can maintain the support of enough voters.

Perhaps the Speaker's term runs concurrent with his or her term as Member of the House of Representatives. That's pretty close. To be specific, a member of the House serves for two years per term, without restriction on the number of terms they may serve. This means, that as long as the Speaker continues to be voted Speaker of the House, and remains a member of the House, their term limit is their life.
That would be the Speaker of the House, as long as the Speaker meets the presdential requirements.
