No. The lower house in Canada is called the House of Commons. It is similar to the House of Representatives in that representatives come from fixed geographical areas defined by legislation, and they are elected as representatives of political parties. Unlike the House of Representatives, however, members of the House of Commons are not elected for fixed terms on set dates, and they on average serve longer terms in office than members of the House of Representatives (between 3 and 5 years). Attempts have recently been made to set fixed four-year terms for members of the House of Commons.
There are more than four parties in the House Of Commons. The four LARGEST parties in descending order are: Conservatives (306), Labour (258), Liberal Democrats (57), and Democratic Unionists (8). After that: Scottish Nationalists (6), Plaid Cymru (3), Social Democratic And Labour (3), Greens (1), and Alliance Party (1). Sinn Féin also have 5 seats, but abstain from sitting in Parliament. There is one independent.

no: It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The British are ruled by HM Queen Elizabeth II & a Bicameral House of Parliament, subject to election in the lower house(The House Of Commons) every 5 years. Though a General Election may be called early if the commons believe (as a majority) that the current government is not fit for purpose.
For Canada, the House of Commons lasts for no longer than 5 years.Once formed, the House of Commons can last for up to 5 years, subject to be sooner dissolved by the Governor General (generally on the advice of the prime minister). If a Parliament were to reach 5 years from the date of its summons, it would "expire"-no Canadian Parliament has ever expired, all have been dissolved earlier on the advice of the prime minister.Members of the House of Commons do not have term restrictions-they can be elected as many times and for as long as they can maintain the support of enough voters.
In Britain we have a General Election every 5 years or sooner, when all the members of the House of Commons in Parliament are elected.
