In a parliamentary government system, the leader can be removed through a vote of no confidence. If a majority of members of parliament vote against the leader, he or she is forced to resign. Alternatively, the leader can be removed through a party caucus vote or other internal party mechanism that withdraws support for the leader. Once the leader is removed, a new leader can be elected or appointed.
Members of each political party choose a party leader by election within the parties. When a Canadian federal election takes place the leader of the party that has won the most seats in parliament becomes Prime Minister. If a party elects a new leader during a sitting of parliament then, most frequently, that leader will stand for election in a riding where he is very likely to be elected (a so-called 'safe seat'); much less frequently, the new leader will ask the governor general (the Queen's representative in Canada) to dissolve parliament thus necessitating a general election. So, the answer is no to both parts of the question.
