Obviously You are the one who first attacked her and bitching about her pronouncation (Look, you even bitch about it here). It doesn't sound like she is complaining everyday until up to one point you couldn't take it so you lessoned her. NO! You are the one who's bitching about it, not Her! 3 months, maddam, from a total non-english environment to an english environment; I think it's a good job for her already to try communicating with the customer service people, that's a start! at least she is not forwarding her "responsibility" to you.
I suggest you to leave your friend, coz more likely you are the one who's preventing her to gain confidence with her existance in an English country. How can someone gets the courage to try, if a person like you aside keeps bitching about everything.

Correction: maybe it's more than 3 months now
Yet no matter what, you just gotta let it go, not everyone learned as quickly, or maybe she wants to grow in her comfort zone. It's her life.

To be quite bluntly, your English isn't that great either.

what I meant is
it should either be "To be quite blunt" or simply "bluntly"
no offense, man
ur are kinda aggressive, I mean. It's inappropriate to just suggest others should find a tutor.
I didnt see you are excellent at English, either.
So you r not qualified to say others like that.
Besides think of it urself, dude, r u rlly here for helping others with other English or just for fun or wat?

Has her english improved yet?
I think 3 months should be plenty of time to become functional as 1784 said. Although, I am native english speaker. But I do think being submerged in an environment such as university where you can almost force yourself to hear and speak english everyday you can become tremendously better. Some people though, are unlucky, and may not be able to meet such nice canadians as myself at a university who are willing to help others. Alot of people do not realize how everyone at university is learning, so we should try to help eachother.
Also, I think Maggie just needs to make one good canadian friend who she can spend time with. This time could be daily lunches or sometihing more or less formal or trivial. Something enjoyable where communication will occur. It will help her to learn english and the canadian to appreciate diversity.
So good luck in this aspect.
