Can we have two permanent residency applications at same time?

[healthysfdc.lightning]

Hello, Please advise me if possible

I am planning to apply for TR to PR public policy on Thursday.
I will be eligible for CEC after 4 Months. If i will get invitation after 4 months under CEC stream and suppose I will not hear anything from IRCC regarding my ongoing submitted application i.e
Public policy application then I may apply for CEC (Note: I will not apply for CEC if there will be any update/process on my ongoing application)

My question is, Can we have multiple permanent residency applications at the same time?
If so, can we decline other application if i get PR approval from one of the application?
Are there any issues if we have two ongoing applications for PR?

Advice would be appreciated.

Thank You

" Can I have more than one Express Entry profile?
No. You may only have one profile at a time. This is set out in Canada’s immigration law.

Creating more than one profile will not give you a better chance at being invited or allow you to be invited under a different program.

Note: Completing an Express Entry profile is the first step to immigrate to Canada permanently as a skilled worker. Completing an Express Entry profile does not guarantee that you will receive an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence. An Invitation to Apply for permanent residence will be based on your score and rank in the Express Entry pool using the Comprehensive Ranking System."

..But wait for the expert's opinion .. can get more enlightened by them.
