The Prime Minister of Canada is not elected. Generally, when a parliamentary election is held, the party which wins the plurality of seats has their party nominated by the Governor General as the first to have a shot at forming the government. Whatever party happens to form the government generally selects their leader as Prime Minister. Then the Governor General appoints that leader as Prime Minister.
