If you are applying through Express Entry, PCC from Canada isn't required. In case they need, they will intimate you. Get the PCC's from the countries where you stayed for more than 6 months except Canada.

I got PCC from Canada, it was in the document checklist.i think it's better to have it than not, at least you will submit what the checklist requires and you avoid delays with CIC.just my 2 cents.

Well, the help of documents checklist for PCC says below

Document: Police Certificates (Multiple)
You must provide a police certificate for every country, region or territory, other than Canada, in which you lived for 6 months or more. A police certificate
Opens a new window is a copy of your criminal record, or a declaration of the absence of any criminal record.
Police certificates are different in each country and territory and may be called police clearance certificates, good conduct certificates, judicial record extracts, etc. They are issued by police authorities or government departments and used by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to determine a person's admissibility to enter Canada.
Certain countries will not issue a police certificate, or provide the certificate directly to you. If this applies to you please provide a letter of explanation in lieu of a police certificate.
You will be advised if you are required to obtain a police certificate for Canada
