A potential employer from a Canadian university is interested in hiring me as an intern in his research lab. I hold a valid visitor visa for 5 years. Is it possible to (paid) intern on visitor visa?

No working on a visitor visa is illegal and may get you deported if immigration finds out. I would suggest to have your employer apply a LMIA for you. Once you get a approved LMIA then you can apply for a work permit.
