Stupidity comes in all shapes and sizes and nationalities. What I was told, several years ago, by the ICA officer who actually approved my PR a quarter of a century ago, is that applications from agencies and via lawyers are looked at even harder the the normal application as they reckon the applicants are trying to hide something and hoping the agency/lawyer can do a work-around.
Most agencies will give you a free quotation AND reserve the right of refusal to do your application. The reason? All agencies like to claim a 90 to 100% success rate. The only way they can do that is convince rubes that they need to use an agency and then trot out their success rate (which is based of stuff a N level holder could do in their sleep). Those that have any chance of denial will usually be refused. Therefore if the agency consents to do your application for you, they you know a secondary school kid could do it just as easy and accurately. That doesn't say too much about the applicant then. But is does get you Kudos from the agency for throwing money away in their garbage can.
