If I have already applied for Express Entry and now apply for Student permit. Does having applied Express entry affect student visa application?

Both are separate application types. One application does not effect the other one.

But doesnt the Express entry show immigration intent? The student visa is given to someone who IRCC believes will return to their country after finishing their studies.

"The existence of 2 different intents is not, in itself, reason to refuse a temporary residence application. If the officer is satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada after their authorized stay, regardless of the outcome of any future potential permanent residence application, the temporary residence application may be approved.

The possibility that an applicant for temporary residence may, at some point in the future, be approved for permanent residence does not absolve the individual from meeting the requirements of a temporary resident, specifically, to leave Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay, in accordance with section R179."
