Pero sa case ko, yung usual na cause ng delays ko sa sponsorship and visa,dahil sa agent. Kasi pinapadaan sakanya, pagfinoforward ko sa agent ang requirements madalas di nya maasikaso agad. Kung wala akong agent, last year pa sana ako may visa or direct grant sana. Ksi imbes na frontloaded n lahat ng docs, antayin daw ang sabi ng co. Tapos pag may nababasa ako sa forum na gusto ko sakanya iinform para mapadali yung process, sabi nya iba iba naman daw.
And ibabalance mo pa yung pagkaparanoid mo sa mararamdaman ni co na baka nakukulitan sya sayo though may karapatan naman tayo kasi abbayaran naman haha. So mahirap magfollow up palagi. Depende sa agent naman. Tsaka kinokontrol ko sarili ko pag may isasuggest ako based dito sa mga nababasa ko kasi baka mafeel nyang pinangungunahan ko sya.

1. have money to burn (make it rain baby)
2. do not have the time and patience to study your options bridging /485/course/ location
3. do not have the time and patience to fill out the forms, skillselect, EOI etc.
4. do not have the time and patience to contact/follow up with the school, medical, etc
5. have unusual circumstances.
6. maganda/pogi ang agent mo at may nararamdaman kang something between you
7. have money to burn ($$cha-ching!$$)
Sa personal experience ko, kaya na ng IDP ang student visa basta maging makulit (within reason) ka lang.
Again depende pa din sa sitwasyon mo at kung saan ka chilax. Pero ang pinaka importante if going with an agent:
Check kung registered sila.

I fist came to australia on a student visa in the early 2000tgrough IDP. They help out with the visa application, that's good enough. Just consider getting an agent if your applying for PR na Lang dahil that's when it gets complicated.
