Technically, the PM is not the Head of Canadian Government.
The head of Government for Canada is officially the Queen, but her power is mainly that of a figurehead. Her representative in Canada is the Governor General, which in turn appoints the Prime Minister, who is deemed as the person best able to command a majority of House of Commons votes (basically, the leader of whatever party won the election).
The present PM is the Right Honourable Stephen Harper(member of the Commons for Calgary Southwest), appointed by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean.

In the Canadian government, the chief is the Prime Minister, who is the head of government and leader of the ruling political party. The Prime Minister is responsible for making key government decisions, setting policy direction, and representing Canada domestically and internationally. Additionally, the Governor General acts as the representative of the monarch in Canada, fulfilling ceremonial duties and exercising certain constitutional responsibilities.
Why does Canada have a prime minister as it's top government official?
This isn't strictly true. The top office in the Canadian government is that of the Governor General of Canada (who represents the Queen in Canada). The Prime Minister is certainly the most politically influential official in the Canadian government, but not the top official. Canada has a Prime Minister because its government is modelled on that of the United Kingdom, which also has a Prime Minister. The United Kingdom has a Prime Minister because it became common, as a result of various political and historical factors, for one of the English monarch's advisers to become particularly influential in government. Eventually, this became engrained in the British system of government, to the point where the monarch lost the ability to actively govern the country.
