I'm frankly baffled at your situation. I can't imagine how a warranty could get voided unless modifications were done outside Audi.
As for getting hanged up on by Audi Canada, Audi corporate runs a pretty tight ship. Did you argue with the operator? Not saying you did, but if someone got beligerent with me on the phone, I'd hang up. A little good will goes a long way.

"I turned my attention to the audi dealer who had done the work and they denied working on the car. I called audi canada and after proving to them that the work had been done by audi they decided to cancel my warranty YES CANCEL MY WARRANTY."
You must have some kind of paperwork stating that the car was fixed SOMEWHERE. If this place is a dealership, and if they deny working on your car, then this is where the lawyer comes in. Quite a few dealerships do not have outside insurance, instead they choose to deal with any insurance issues themselves (be self-insured against any lawsuits). You might have a claim against the dealership who "worked" on your car.

The car is a canadian car and had a full audi advantage warranty. Before I bought the car I checked with the dealer that originally sold the car new and they told me I had the whole nine yards as far as the warranty but to be sure i called audi canada who told me the same thing. Then as issues started to arise audi canada (which is a call center in michigan) decided they didn't want to deal with it so they cut me off.

should've gotten that in writing...

The owners manual of my Ford product states:
Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty also does not cover:
* vehicles that have ever been labeled or branded as “dismantled”, “fire”, “flood”, “junk”, “rebuilt”, “reconstructed”, or “salvaged”; this will
void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
* vehicles that have been determined to be a “total loss” by an insurance company; this will void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
I'd presume most manufacturers would be similar.
This all doesn't sound good. Hope it all works out for you.

If this vehicle has a salvage title then you have no warranty. If a specific dealer told you that the vehicle was under warranty then you may have recourse against them. All they have to say is that new information that they learned about your car, proving that it was in a major accident, constitutes them believing it should have been labeled a total loss and therefore carries no warranty. In the end you may have to chalk this one up to a learning experience. I purchased my A4 off of eBay so you'll get no crap from me about that. But, I also made sure I did a carfax report on the car before I purchased it. Mine came up clear and I have had no problems. Yours might have come up as a salvage and if it didn't carfax would buy it back from you now that all this crap is happening to you.
In the end all we can say is Sorry - BTW - exactly how much did you pay for the car - is the listing still up on ebay - put a link here so

Thank you to everyone for info, help and consideration. It hasn't help me with my anger towards audi but it reconstituted a faith in kindness and understanding. Any addition info would be great.

Sounds like should keep pushing the issue, I'd be calling every couple days if no one is getting back to you. You need to get the right customer rep. The one with savvy to think outside the box and knows how to get things done. Not everyone has this apptitude.
The level of expertise can vary greatly with all call center support. You need to find the vet.
