If you mean doing your own application pack without using a consultant, then I suspect most people do this - we certainly did. The CIC on-line help is actually pretty good and of course lots of support via this forum.

If you are 'time poor / cash rich' then by all means employ a consultant who will charge $3 - 6k-ish and probably only send you all the documents and tell you to fill them in and send it back to them, they will check the pack for you and provide advice no doubt. But if you begrudge paying money like that, then do it yourself.

Also an extremely useful 'unofficial' wiki resource here:

Angled at Outland and for British PA's, but Inland and Outland are the same forms and not much difference between American and British PA's.
