How long do senator serve in Canada?

Answer 1

Justices on the Supreme Court of Canada are not elected; rather, they are summoned by the Governor General of Canada, on the advice of the prime minister. The Department of Justice undertakes various processes to come up with recommendations to the prime minister, and recently the current prime minister has started the practice of having potential puisne justices meet an ad hoc committee of the House of Commons for questioning before an appointment is made.

Answer 2

Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada serve until the age of seventy-five, pursuant to s. 9(2) of the Supreme Court Act. As per s. 9(1) of the same Act, justices may also be removed by the Governor General, when so requested by addresses of both the Senate and the House of Commons.
