There is no maximum number- unlike the US President, a British Prime Minister can serve any number of consecutive terms for as long as they enjoy the confidence and support of the electorate and their own Party.

∙ 11y agoA Prime Minister can serve in office for as long as he is re-elected and has the support and confidence of his party; there's no fixed term of service, as there is for the US President.
However, General Elections have to be held after a maximum of five years, although they can be called after four if the governing party think they have a stronger chance of re-election at the time.

∙ 10y agoThere is no limit. A British Prime Minister can serve as many terms as they want, as long as they keep being elected as an MP and their party wins a general election. The British prime minister is not directly elected by the British electorate. They vote for parties and the leader of the largest party becomes the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister does have to be elected by the people, but only as an MP, not as the actual Prime Minister. There has to be a general election at least every 5 years, though an election can be called at any time within that period of time.

How long can a prime minister stay in office in Quebec?
The French Prime Minister has no defined length for his stay in office. The President is elected for five years and picks the Prime Minister within the parliamentary majority. The Prime Minister has to answer to parliament which can ask for him to be removed. In French politics, it is common for the Prime Minister to protect the popularity of the president by taking responsibility of unpopular policies, and afterwards offer his resignation to the President. (The office of Prime Minister is often compared to that of a lightning rod.) Some Prime ministers stayed very few months in offices, others for many years.
In the event that the Canadian Prime Minister dies while in office who is his immediate replacement?
I'd say its the vice-prime minister.** Edit:Canadians don't call it a "vice-prime minister". The Deputy Prime Minister of Canada is a position in the Canadian government.The position, which is not officially mandated by the Constitution of Canada, is actually a relatively weak one in cabinet. When the prime minster is out of the country it is accepted that no major decisions will be made. Without a portfolio or a ministry, the deputy prime minister is far less powerful than individuals such as the finance minister. Because of this the deputy prime minister is often given other cabinet responsibilities.Unlike the Vice-President of the United States, the Deputy Prime Minister does not assume the Prime Minister's office if he dies or resigns. The Governor General assumes the duties until he or she appoints a new Prime Minister in consultation with the Cabinet.Wrong, the Governor-General appoints the Finance Minister to temporarily cease power until a new Prime Minister is elected.

In countries that have both, the President is the head of state and the prime minister is the head of government.

Presidents may give the seal of office to a prime minister and a prime minister will often go to see the president when a government collapses.
