It is not unusual for governments to lose their majorities mid-term. Labour lost it's majority in 1977 and had the support of the Liberals to continue. John Major lost his majority in 1995 and conitnued unitl 1997. The Prime Minister would remain Prime Minister for as long as s/he had the confidence of the Commons. For instance a Conservative government could rely on the Ulster Unionists to pass bills, a Labour government could rely on the support of the SDLP. If the government loses a vote of no confidence, then there would be a general elecetion.
How does the prime minister get put in office?
Technically, the power to appoint the Prime Minister resides in the Governor General as the representative of the Crown, but the Governor General rarely interferes in the process, particularly since the constitutional crisis of 1975. In practice, if a party wins a majority of seats in a federal election, the leader of that party becomes Prime Minister. In the event that no party wins a majority of seats, such as in 2010, the leader of the party that gains the support of a majority of Members of Parliament on Confidence and Supply becomes Prime Minister.

Should a prime minister be allowed to serve more than two terms?
I cant see why not, the way the system works it is up to the majority in Parliament to decide who is going to be the prime minister, and so long as the people vote for that majority there is no reason for that majority to uninstall their leader. In support of the above answer - as long as the people continue to vote in the Prime Minister, he must be doing something right. Some of Australia's strongest years, policy and trade-wise, have resulted from continued, steady policies of a single Prime Minister. If he makes irresponsible decisions that will have a long-term damaging impact on Australians and the economy, the Governor-General can remove the Prime Minister from office.

Who does the prime minister and premier of Canada appoint?
In Canada, the Prime Minister is appointed by the Governor General (the Queen's representative). The Governor General selects the person who is best able to command the support of a majority of members of the elected House of Commons.Once a general election has concluded, the incumbent prime minister has the right to meet the new House of Commons to test whether it supports the current Government. If the Government is defeated on any early key votes, then the prime minister must tender the resignation of the Government to the Governor General. If the prime minister anticipates that the Government would be defeated right away, then the prime minister can tender the Government's resignation before the House has met. The Governor General would then appoint a new prime minister.What this means, in practice, is that whenever one party holds a majority of seats, the leader of that party becomes the prime minister. When no party holds a majority of seats, the incumbent prime minister can attempt to continue to govern, provided that she or he can command the support of a majority of the House. The Governor General only exercises discretion in the appointment of the prime minister in the event that there is no party with a majority of seats.In Australia, the system is different, as the Prime Minister appoints the Governor General, not the other way around. The Prime Minister begins by winning preselection in any given electorate to represent the people of that electorate. He/she must win the Federal election in his/her division in order to become a member of the Lower House of Parliament, the House of Representatives. After this, the only criteria required is that he/she be elected as party Leader by the Party he/she represents. Then, whichever party wins the majority of seats in the Fedeal election, the party leader automatically becomes the Prime Minister, and will be sworn in by the Governor General, usually within a few days of the election.
