Dual intent with study permit?

I've applied for Express entry and received my AOR in August. My 6 months for the EE application is up and I still haven't received a response.

I applied for a study program hoping I would either already have my EE at this stage or that if I was rejected for some reason I could apply for a study visa. However now I'm in limbo since I'm still waiting :(

So I'm considering applying for a study permit even though I haven't received a response for my EE yet.

I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to apply for a study permit with dual intent while I'm waiting for my EE? I've seen people say both yes and no on this forum.

2. If the answer to 1. above is yes, will this in any way affect my EE application negatively?
Thank you! :)
