Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On November 13, 2007 Oilsands Quest Inc. (the “Company”) notified Pannell Kerr Forster (registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board as “Smythe Ratcliffe”) (“PKF”) that it was replaced as the Company’s auditor effective immediately. The Company’s Audit Committee had recommended that PKF be replaced as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

On November 13, 2007 KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, was appointed as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm.

PKF’s principal accountant report on the Company’s financial statements for both of the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was either modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

There were no disagreements with PKF on any matter of accounting principles, practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which if not resolved to PKF’s satisfaction would have caused PKF to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its principal accounting reports.

        During the Company’s past two fiscal years and through November 13, 2007, we did not consult KPMG LLP regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either contemplated or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matter or reportable event that would be required to be reported in this Form 8-K.

The Company has provided PKF with a copy of these disclosures and has requested PKF furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether PKF agrees with the Company’s statements in this report. PKF’s letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 14, 2007, the Company issued a press release. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
