Given that this system has a huge waitlist seems highly unlikely that you will get a hearing on the spot. This was written before the huge influx of applicants. In general it is highly unusual to miss a hearing unless someone is in the hospital.

Much easier to change the surgery date. Given the backlog I find it very unlikely that you can get an impromptu hearing date the next week. Why didn't you tell your doctor as soon as you knew there was a conflict with the hearing date? Planned surgery is not a reason to miss your hearing but an emergency and ending up in hospital can't be avoided.

The meeting one week after is only for the explanation of your absence and if they accept they would not cancel your case and you will be returned to the waiting list for an unknown period of time. Honestly, Even If I had cancer I would not miss the hearing. My learning of the past year is that DO NOT MISS YOUR HEARING FOR ANY REASON.

First you discuss it with Dr. for any possibility of delaying the surgery. If Dr. says the surgery date can't be change, then try to get a letter from the Doctor and also speak to your case officer at IRB. Then take your decision accordingly & wisely brother.

Nobody is saying cancel the surgery only delay it slightly.

Call your case worker ASAP, provide a medical explanation (particularly is its critical surgery) and have them reschedule. If you don’t let them know now (since you already know you can’t make it) it avoids adding costs to the program and wasting people’s time. A serious medical procedure is suitable grounds to reschedule, provided it really is life and death (or close to it).

What happened to the comprehensive exam? I hope you realize that pretending to have surgery would be a very bad idea.

Thank you. As I know they will postpone you again until they give you a new time. It can be a few months later but I do not think on the same day.
There are some rules that they can not, in reality, do it. For example interview 60 days after application.

It is sad to see how vulnerable we are.
They cancel sometimes even the second hearing for something related to judge. I think maybe a small daily life problem.
But we have to even cancel or reschedule important things such as surgeries.
It is not about Canada. All countries treat refugees as half humans.
God bless us and save us asap.

You have been very lucky compared to many other refugees currently in Canada so you don't have much to complain about. @Shong Lee originally mentioned he had an exam in the US not surgery so not sure what is the correct story. When a surgery date was given it was quite easy to tell the doctor you had a conflict and could it be done another day. It is clearly not an emergency. Hard to call Canadian treatment of refugees as half human when the previous discussion is about getting surgery without being accepted as a refugee.
