Actually you don't even require a criminal record check, if CIC requires one from you they'll let you know. This is a quote from the CIC website:

'The Canadian visa office will tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed'.

Submit your application as it is and if CIC requires a CRC from you they'll let you know.
 
Which country are you living in currently? If in canada, you don't need one. If outside of canada, unfortunately you have to wait.
 
For express entry they do ask for Police Clearance ... here are 2 links which says we do need that
