Typically it's done as a byelection yeah. I'm not sure when the last federal one happened, but it happens more commonly in provincial elections.
Opposition parties have lost their leaders ridings a few times recently. Bloq Quebecois and the PPC in 2015 and 2019 respectively. Though the former leader resigned and the later didn't win any other seats
