Dual Intent Application

Ms.Hawiyah Reyes  Lim is applying for permanent residence in Canada under the Express Entry System.  She now has an active Express Entry Profile.  She also applied for Study Visa to boost her chance and to expedite the process. 

Yes, you can apply for Study Visa even if you have an active Express Entry Profile.  Her Study Visa Application was approved.

This is a concern because in applying for temporary resident visa, you need to convince the Visa Officer of your intention to go back to your home country after the authorized period of stay.  but with a permanent resident visa application, that clearly shows your intention to stay in Canada permanently.  But under the rules, dual intent is acceptable.
