Consider the following statistics:
At the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) Sydney 25% of applications are returned to applicants because they are incomplete and have to be resubmited (to the back of the queue)
Once processed at CIO Sydney around 28% of applications are rejected. In many cases the applications would have been approved if they had been better prepared.
At the London visa office the application refusal rate averages around 30%. Again many of these refusals could have been avoided if the applications were better prepared
At the Buffalo visa office approximately 30% of applications received are returned at least once because they are incomplete
At Buffalo 27% of Economic Class applications were refused in 2009
Refusal by a visa office almost always results in the loss of the applicant's processing fees.
Having your applications checked prior to submission usually eliminates unnecessary mistakes and omissions and helps to identify more serious issues or possible refusal. Normally if your application is rejected you will forfeit your CIC processing fees so if your application is not likely to be accepted (i.e. if you don’t meet the basic criteria for the Class you are applying under) it's much better to know in advance.
And if you have made an omission, however minor, this will normally result in your application being returned which effectively means you have wasted several months or even years and have to resubmit your application "to the back of the queue". Omissions and minor errors are common because it isn’t always easy to understand what the questions on the application forms mean.
