You know why its nearly impossible? I see every day on these forums people asking how to create the paperwork to make a visitors visa to show how they have ties at home and then the next next message asking what the chances of getting a work permit and staying in Canada and the process of extending their stay.
Its going to get harder and harder for legit tourists to get a visa because people wont stop using a visitor visa as a back door method to get into Canada and stay.

Yeah, it's a bit contradictory because in general, to be approved for a TRV, you must not show intent to stay in Canada permanently, but the exploratory visit to MPNP suggests exactly that. It's better to already have been approved for a TRV prior to pursuing the MPNP exploratory visit stream. You may want to consider alternative immigration streams in this regard.
There is dual intent for TRV applications, which I somehow managed for my last TRV application (while my PR application was being processed), but it is hard to prove. I think what worked in my favor was that I had ideal travel histories to Canada and the US without ever overstaying. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/dual.asp
