Read again what PP India shared. Anyway, I am no expert but I feel we need to be careful about the advice we share on this forum as that can ruin one's chances of getting their PR approved.

I am a BCPNP paper based applicant. As far as I know, one cannot have an express entry and paper based application at the same time. If you have Express Entry, yes you can apply through different streams, FSW, CEC, PNP Express Entry. However, if you have PNP Paper Based (non-Express Entry), you can apply through only this stream. IRCC has already received your Paper Based application, I highly doubt you will receive an ITA for the recent CEC. I am no expert, but I think you will need to withdraw your Express Entry profile. And if you decide to keep you Express Entry profile, you will need to withdraw your paper based application. And once IRCC begins processing an application, they do not refund fees.

You can have both application at same time . If you wana go with express entry you have to pay another fees and do medical exam and pcc again. You can use same fees u used for paper based application.

Update: Did you receive an ITA for CEC. Finally I found some proof to support my argument that one cannot have a PNP Nomination and Express Entry Profile at the same time. This paragraph from this link clearly states that once a candidate has been nominated, they cannot receive an ITA from other federal programs.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/provincial-nominee-program.html

A candidate who has a pending nomination or has accepted a nomination cannot be viewed by other PTs in the portal, nor can they be issued an ITA based on one of the federal programs (FSWP, FSTP or CEC). The candidate will be issued an ITA as a PNP only for the jurisdiction whose nomination they have accepted. A nomination is ‘pending’ when a PT has indicated in the PT portal that they wish to nominate a candidate but the candidate has not yet responded.
