The WHOIS and DNS databases are distinct,
and not necessarily synchronized. You need
to wait until your domain is added to the .ORG
zone file of the master .ORG DNS Server
(that normally happens every 12 hours from the
PIR registry, IIRC [I can be wrong here!]). It can
then take up to 72 hours to propagate to the other
.ORG DNS slaves, and also to your ISPs DNS servers.

Just give it some time to propagate.

% dig rimouski-undernet.org

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> rimouski-undernet.org
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; res_nsend: Operation timed out

Yep, not yet visible here...
