Effect of no document qualifying?

Hi folks, just wanted to start a general discussion about how skipping DQ has affected DV22. What has been your experience and how did it benefit (or negatively affect) your visa process? I have a feeling that lots of people ended up at their interview without the right documents.
 
Why would the cancellation of document submission (which I’m guessing is what you’re referring to as skipping DQ) have led to lots of people ending up attending their interview without the right documents?

I thought it was logical to presume that the DQ process would help with the accuracy of civil documents. For example, if you’re missing a document during submission, you’d get a request for it and therefore ultimately attend your interview documentarily complete because it, or any other mistakes, were brought to your attention well beforehand.

Maybe it was a stupid question. This is not about a specific case, I was just thinking about the bigger picture. This whole process has made me reflect on how hard it must’ve been for my mom when she immigrated to Canada many years ago - all the bureaucracy she must’ve faced alone as a single mother without much education and resources. I think of people like her when I think of the average applicant, and I think a DQ process would’ve helped her as I’m certain she would’ve missed a document or brought the wrong one.
 
Document submission prior to being scheduled for an interview hasn’t always been a part of the process. It only got introduced a few (couple of) years ago. It really was intended to make the document review process easier for the embassies. As for the selectees, there have always been instructions as to what documents they needed to have, the issuing authorities responsible for those required documents, etc. These instructions (links to the instructions) have always been available, some selectees just never bother to click on those links or follow the instructions already provided. Some embassies even go as far as listing those documents which some selectees interviewing at those embassies somehow do not check ahead of time. So if anybody attended their interview without the right set of documents, that will be due to their own failure at adequately preparing to ensure they succeed with the once in a lifetime opportunity they got.

I’m not sure what sort of bureaucracy your mom faced or what sort of immigration process she went through while immigrating to Canada. I equally originally immigrated to Canada as a skilled worker from an African country some donkey years back, I did not experience any unnecessary bureaucratic process, all the information I needed were readily available to me from the CIC website

I managed to do DV a few years back before all of this - paper DS230 (precursor to DS260), etc. The required documents then as now were on the DoS website linked from the selectee letter (both the ones for all applicants and specific instructions per embassy), and the specifics of the documents then as now were on the reciprocity page. If people didn’t or don’t have the right documents, honestly it just means they don’t follow the instructions that are already there for them!
And anecdotally from the forum - cases of KCC catching problems seemed few and far between.

It benefited me because I was able to get my interview faster. I knew I could get all my documents ready quickly and I had a lawyer to help.
