You said you have a pending claim. That means your Refugee claim hasnt be heard yet. Correct?
If that is the case, i dont think you need to be worried because your claim has not been determined.
The requirements says You’re not eligible under this process if your refugee claim was:
Determined to be ineligible to be referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board withdrawn or abandoned
Determined to be manifestly unfounded or with no credible basis
Determined to be excluded under Article 1F of the Refugee Convention
cessated or vacated.

They have used the word DETERMINED which means: having made a firm decision and being resolved not to change it.
So i dont think they will use that against you since you have not been DETERMINED to be excluded. Unless
