Where in the DR does she live. There are number of language schools where French is taught. If she has a reasonable education in the DR-High school she probably has had soon French and learning French grammar shouldn't be too hard for a Spanish speaking person. Pronunciation is another thing all together. My wife only spoke minimum of English before coming to Canada but all her letters and interviews were in Spanish. Certainly speaking French will make it easier for her to adjust so she should start learning it, the sooner the better. I don't think this will be a problem for non-admittance. We sponsored my mother-in-law and even after 3 years in Canada all she knows is money, America, Hello, dollars.
