Stephen Harper will likely resign following a vote of non-confidence by a recently elected House of Commons, or if he sees that a vote of non-confidence is inevitable following a federal election. He could also resign if he looses the confidence of his party.

Who was the Prime Minister of Canada in 2010?

Yes, the Prime Minister can be reelected as an MP any number of times, even if they are no longer prime minister following their reelection. If you mean 'reelected as Prime Minister', the Prime Minister is not directly elected to begin with. However, the term of a Prime Minister is indefinite, and a Prime Minister can be reappointed by the Governor General any number of times. The only limitation on a Prime Minister's term is that he/she must maintain the confidence of the House of Commons, and can be forced to resign through political pressure (or be dismissed by the Governor General, though this is rare) at any time.
