The House of Commons chamber in the UK can hold a maximum of 650 Members of Parliament (MPs), as this is the number of constituencies in the UK. However, the seating arrangement can accommodate a few additional individuals, such as officials and guests, but the primary capacity is for the MPs themselves. The chamber is designed to facilitate parliamentary debates and discussions among these representatives.
In the House of Commons, they have 77 of the 308 seats. In the Senate, they have 49 of the 105 seats. Hope that helps.

The status of impeachment as a tool to hold Government accountable is uncertain.As Canada shares a constitutional framework with the pre-1867 United Kingdom, and since impeachment remained at that time an option for the United Kingdom House of Commons to pursue, it can be argued that the Canadian House of Commons continues to enjoy impeachment authority pursuant to s. 18 of the Constitution Act, 1867. However, the status and authority of the Senate to decide on that impeachment (as the House of Lords would do for the United Kingdom House of Commons) is unclear.Some scholars have argued that the power of impeachment is obsolete now that the Government is responsible to the House of Commons. It would be much easier for a prime minister to be removed through a defeat in the House of Commons and subsequent elections, than it would be to navigate the untested constitutional waters of impeachment.
No, the Prime Minister of Canada is appointed by the Governor General of Canada as the person most likely to hold the confidence of the House of Commons. Typically, this means the leader of the party with the most seats in the Commons, though other arrangements can be negotiated. A Prime Minister does face election in a federal riding as a Member of Parliament since, by convention, the Prime Minister must have a seat in the House of Commons so that they can answer questions and participate in debates.
Members of the Cabinet (the active group of political decision-makers of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada) are responsible to the elected House of Commons. This means that the Cabinet needs the support of the Commons to govern. If the House of Commons votes down the throne speech, a question of money, or another key plank of the Government's agenda, it is the expectation that the prime minister (as head of the Cabinet) either (a) advises the Governor General to dissolve Parliament to hold a new general election, (b) resigns so that a new Government can be formed, or (c) proves right away that the Government has the support of the House of Commons.

A minister holds position in Cabinet for as long as the Prime Minister wants him/her to, or until the Government (including the Prime Minister) has to resign because they no longer have the support of the House of Commons.
The members of the English Gentry do not necessarily hold titles of nobility and may not, therefore have been entitled to a seat in the House of Lords, when that was the sole criterion for sitting in the Lords. They could, like any other untitled person, be elected to the House of Commons.
