Why can't you access campaigns if your Instagram is in draft mode?
Because brands can only collaborate with Active accounts, and Draft means your onboarding is not finished. It is not a rejection and nothing is wrong with your account.

Editing your profile
If you have several accounts
Each connected account has its own status. One can be Active and taking deals while another sits in Draft because its onboarding was never finished, so check each card separately.
Good to know
The fields in onboarding are the fields brands filter on. Treating them as paperwork to rush is the most common reason a finished profile still gets few invitations.
Why this helps you
The requirement cuts both ways in your favour: because every creator in the marketplace has been through it, a brand searching trusts what they find, which is why they are willing to pay into escrow up front.
