well said solokru ! i was about to type something along these lines....
i too read some article released by the quebec authorities stating that the max no. of applicants are from china. plus, BIQ is said to be relying on China to provide the bulk of numbers to Quebec. the BIQ even conducts some sessions in chinese cities educating the chinese abt the opportunities there and just promoting quebec.

we've all seen the surge in quebec applications since the cap came into force for FSW, the no. of new joinees on the quebec threads are a testament to that too ! and most of them were Indians.... so i was thinking, if there were so many indians applying to the BIQ
and we were 2nd in place, then the no. of chinese should be humongous !!
i personally dont think there is any point calling up the BIQ relentlessly and enquiring about the status. there is a huuuuuge queue out there and going by the timelines and notices on the BIQ, its gonna be a long wait and slow ride. its maddeningly frustrating, but there is no way anyone is jumping the queue.
many ppl are in fact being called in early (owing to their professions-nurses for eg) ! but for people like quebec2011 who is supposed to get their interview calls now (as stated on the site) its justifiable. if he doesnt get it even in nov, then its time to go wild and use everything possible... till then we gotta wait it out...
no offence meant to any1, just my point of view.
