Great news! Thank you for replying. I will check if it’s something I could do myself or it has to go through my lawyer
You can be put on a waitlist if any cancellations come up. That isn’t the same as requesting an earlier hearing. There aren’t that many cancellations but sometimes things happen like asylum claimants getting sick. Assume that there have been some last minute cancellations due to omicron which may be why they have made the announcement.

Could you share your time line please? 33 months since referral or since application submission? Thanks
Application Submitted Jan2019, Interview Feb2019, hearing date received on May 2021 and hearing was on Sep2021, acceptance on table.
It takes longer sometimes I'm afraid.
Mine took 44 months.
Claim made in July 2018 in Montreal.
Had two postponed hearing dates (2 March and 20 March 2019 respectively) due to administrative reasons.
Had my hearing in March 2022 and got my decision on the table.
You can't really trust the timeline as I know people who have had theirs pretty quickly.
The hearing was actually bad. The board member focused a lot on my previous addresses in my forms from the border which I couldn’t recall. I guess my story and evidence was clear and met his criteria
