You do not require PCC from Canada. This is what the I see in CIC website.
You and your family members who are 18 years of age and older and are not permanent residents or Canadian citizens must provide:
valid police certificate, or police clearance, or record of no information.
These documents are to be provided for each country other than Canada, in which you have lived for six (6) consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18.
Correct, PCC from Canada is not required. If a name based search during the application assessment comes up
with results, CIC will request RCMP fingerprints later on in the process.
But CIC randomly asks people to submit their PCC for Canada also. It is easy to get this if we reside in Canada, but looks like it is little difficult to get this from outside Canada.

It is not random. CIC conducts name-based checks on all applicants. If the name based check is not clear - for example, you share a name with someone who has a criminal record - only then will CIC request a fingerprint-based check.
It is not that difficult to get from the USA. Worry about it if/when CIC asks for it.
