Can a same-sex couple marry in Canada if one is a felon?
Yes, there is no criminal background check for marriage license applicants in Canada. Also, there is no criminal background check for Americans seeking to enter Canada and they may do so without a visa, although the time period they may remain in Canada is limited. There is no residency or citizenship requirement for marriage in Canada. The same laws apply to same-sex marriage as to any other marriage in Canada.
Why do some people feel they should get married?
The concept of marriage is a religious factor and in many countries (whatever God they choose to believe) they are committed to each other and therefore taking their vows under the eyes of their God. However, marriage is changing and in Canada it is 50 - 50 where 50 percent marry while 50 percent live common-law. Some people do not believe in the sanctity of marriage because there is so much cheating going on and the divorce rate is high so often couples in love go under the misconception that if they live common-law they have no responsibilities to each other should the relationship not work. In some States in the U.S. and all Provinces in Canada there is a statute of limitations and for example, in Canada if you are living common-law after a sixth month period you are still considered married so, if that marriage ends it is the same procedure as getting a divorce after marriage.
Examples of common law?
Marriage comes to mind the fastest to me. Common law is where there are laws and restrictions placed upon people that are rarely enforced and thereby are legally forgiven after a time sequence. for instance: a couple lives together illegally in some states and after a period of 7 years the "marriage" or union is then deemed to be legal.

Does your boyfriend become common law after a year?
No. In the US, only a few states continue to recognize common law marriage. In those states, the period of co-habitation is normally about 7 years. Additionally, common law marriage does not apply unless the parties hold themselves out as husband and wife. Continuing to refer to him as your boyfriend negates this element.
Can you get married if you have been in a common law marriage with someone else?
The concept of common law marriage is a difficult one. In the USA the legal status varies from state to state, with most not recognising it. Where they are recognised divorce is usually necessary before a subsequent marriage can be entered into. In England there is no legal status to common law marriage, although the situation is slightly different in Scotland. In short, marriage to someone else is probably legal, but the advice of an attorney/solicitor would be a wise thing to take.
