Has anyone heard some horror stories about medicals? Like being asked to strip naked and having your private parts checked? Some posts on canadavisa give that impression.

In my case, there was no nudity at all.
They might ask the applicant to take off some of his cloths, only if there are any symptoms showing during the general test which need more tests whether by looking at some parts of the body or by asking for more blood tests.
Here is how it goes exactly:
General test "no nudity unless there are some symptoms need to be checked.
Urine test.
Blood test.
For the blood test:
HIV and Syphilis only.
They do not conduct any other kind of blood test unless you mentioned that you have any other disease or have suffered from any one in the past, or the doctor has noticed any symptoms on your body during the general check (red or yellow eyes, or on your skin, or up normal size of the liver "hyperplasia of liver" which can be detected by pressing the liver area by the doctor during the general check on the body...etc) which gives an indicator that you might have a certain kind of infection or disease.
Otherwise, as i mentioned above, only HIV, and Syphilis.
You will see the kind of the blood tests you are going to do in the blood test form which will be given to you by the doctor to give it to the blood lab to conduct the blood test.
By the way, i have done the medical test for Canada twice in two different countries, one for a student visa and the other was for the Permanent residence and both of them were exactly the same.
