Hi Guys,
I got admit in the second round.
However, I have few queries.

Does anyone have knowledge about previous batch who have done MBA in English from HEC?
Congratulations on the admission offered to you.
Don't believe everything you hear.
Canada is a very welcoming country and stamping of a genuine visa should not be a concern to you. Arrivals at Canadian airports are one of the best arrival experiences and are very friendly.
But, I guess you implied obtaining a student visa which is again a standard procedure and there is no bias on account of HEC Montreal admission. However, processing experience may vary based on individual cases.
French proficiency is not impossible but difficult and it also depends on what level of proficiency you aim for.
I believe you have been offered admission to the English cohort for 2018. you may confirm the same either from the application package you sent or from the admission offer. MBA in English is offered at HEC Montreal every year in summers and has a significant participation of candidates from India. I would suggest you do some research on LinkedIn or other social networking sites.
There is a https://gmatclub.com/chat group of candidates who have been offered admission for Summer 2018. You may share your contact details by a PM if you wish to join the same.
