It seems like they most of them hold office around 8 years or more. Why do they have such long terms unlike Australian PM's (John Howard is an exception).

Technically, Canadian Prime Ministers don't serve any terms. A "term of office" usually means a fixed length of time. Canada's electoral system does not schedule elections for any specific times (beyond that they must occur no less than every 5 years), and Parliament can call one at pretty much any time. There are no term limits, so a Prime Minister can remain in power for as long as his party can keep winning elections. For example, Jean Chrétien was elected 3 times and served a total of 10 years. His successor, Paul Martin, served only a bit over 2 years because he lost a no-confidence vote and early elections were called.
