Hi, I have just been accepted in an Ontario College and I have an active EE profile.
I understand that I have to say something about my dual intent in my SOP letter, does any one has a good example or idea on what do I have to say?

Thanks.

Why would you have to say something about dual intent? It is better to avoid that part, although there is no reason for rejecting based on dual intent, but you would have to bring it up very carefuly as it may turn to be a very delicate point. I wouldn't mention it, to be honest. But maybe, someone more enlightened than me could guide you better?

How about in the forms? There is a question if I have ever applied for a Canadian Visa.
I don't think having an active EE is equal to having applied to a Canadian Visa.

That's what I think too, but, in some point they could find that my passport number is in their database as I am in the Express Entry Pool, and misinterpret my intentions.
I'm working in my SOP letter and I'm trying to be clear that I will leave the country when my permit expires and that I wont stay as an illegal, I know they dont refuse any temporary resident based on dual intent, I just want to the best I can to get the study permit.

Thanks.

Just don't try too hard... better that convincing the officer that you will leave the country is showing that you have strong ties back home.

No need to mention it. In imm1294 if you have been refused of previous application, you need additional explanation for this but for EE no need.

You should mention it l. I did. It's important. Just say you will not break any immigration laws and will follow the due process of Express Entry. It is important that you give them a plan and reason to come back after your study visa expires.
