Who is in charge of Canada when the government is voted out on a non confidence vote?
A motion of non-confidence does not "vote out" the prime minister, it only requires that the prime minister either resign (in which case a new prime minister would be summoned immediately by the Governor General of Canada), or seek the dissolution of Parliament (in which case the prime minister would continue at least until the results of the subsequent general election).
How can the prime minister of Canada be removed?
If an election comes and his party loses. I'm pretty sure that's how it would happen.AnswerThe Prime Minister can be dismissed by the Governor General at any time (though one will usually resign before this happens). Usually this will only happen when the Prime Minister loses the confidence of the House of Commons.Normally, the Prime Minister can first ask for a general election instead of resigning, in order to try his chances at a fresh mandate. This request can, however, be refused if the Governor General feels that holding an election would be an abuse of Parliament or of the electorate, though this has only happened once. A Prime Minister will normally resign if he does not feel that a newly elected house will support him, rather than attempting to pass a budget.A Prime Minister can also lose the support of his party, in which case, he will be replaced as leader of the party, and the new leader will be appointed as Prime Minister.

Who is the boss of the prime minister of Canada?
The Prime Minister is advised by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) which is the Prime Minister's personal secretariat, and the Privy Council Office (PCO) which is the apolitical secretariat to the federal Cabinet. Constitutionally, the federal Cabinet (a committee of the Queen's Privy Council) advises the Governor General. However, since the Governor General conventionally delegates active decision making to the Prime Minister, in effect the Cabinet advises the Prime Minister. Both the Queen and the Governor General have the conventional right to advise the Prime Minister, since it is their constitutional authority that the Prime Minister uses in order to govern.
How and how elects the minister and shadow minister?
Canadian ministers are not elected.Rather, the prime minister selects persons to become ministers, and the Governor General of Canada makes the appointments. Though ministers are not elected, they are nonetheless responsible to the elected representatives of the House of Commons. Ministers may be removed at any time by the Governor General (on the prime minister's advice), or collectively may be forced to resign or seek an election by a vote of the House of Commons.The term shadow ministers is not used for Canadian politics; the equivelant position is critics, and they collectively form (with the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition) a "Government-in-waiting" to replace the current party should the Governor General or electorate so decide. Critics are appointed by the Leader of the Opposition, and can be removed by the Leader of the Opposition.
What happens if the Canadian prime minister loses his seat in an election?
It is possible that a Prime Minister could win the general election (i.e., win the most seats) but lose in his/her own riding.In that case, the Prime Minister would likely prevail upon a government backbencher in a so-called "safe seat" to resign, and the Prime Minister would run in the subsequent by-election. The Prime Minister would remain as Prime Minister during this procedure.The Prime Minister could also interpret the result as the electorate signifying satisfaction with his/her party, but dissatisfaction with him/herself personally. In such a case, the Prime Minister might resign and the Governor General would then ask another government member to form a government. Given the ego of your typical Prime Minister, that scenario is not likely to develop unless the Prime Minister also loses the by-election in the safe seat.
