This is not going to help you, at all. The program might decide to fill an empty slot, but if so they will work off of their waitlist. Contacting a program and saying "Hey, I know you had a cancellation and I want an interview" is unlikely to be effective. But, you certainly can try.

I don't know if thats universally true. When I was applying, I was able to shake out an interview or two at the end because a place had last minute cancellations and the coordinator wanted to keep all the interviewers schedules full, and my email hit her desk at exactly the right time. It's an uphill battle though because you know you weren't the places first choice for an interview slot.
