I have been taking classes for about three months and I can hold up OK in a conversation. I can talk about the weather (neige, snow) say my likes and dislikes, yada yada, but I want to know how long it will take for me to speak almost as fluently as an actually French person?

it will take a long time, depending on if language is a gift to you or not.
Some people can just pick it up, like that. But with others it takes great practice to even learn the basics.
The only way to speak French perfectly fluent is to immerse yourself in it.
IE: go to a French speaking place for a few months etc, because you wont learn fluently just my taking classes for three months.

about 2 years of regular study, like any other class, will get you fairly fluent. of course, if you are doing some sort of public school language program, it will most probably be MUCH MUCH longer, since that style is ineffective
