I was actively filling up express entry required documents before I received a US visa ban.
US customs issued a ban on US entry and revoked the US VISA.

How does this affect the ongoing Canada Express entry application?

No impact as long as you declare it in your EE application.

Nobody knows. You need to let IRCC know about it and they will make a decision. US Visa ban does not necessarily stops you from moving to Canada.

I heard US and Canada shared the customs data, does US ban result into a Canada ban too?
Yes, they share information.

No, the US ban does not result in a Canadian ban.

The only reason to worry is if there's anything criminal involved.

Agreed. Only thing to do is to be truthful, declare everything and explain it as best as you can.
Whatever happens next is the best possible outcome.
