Most pharmD programs are 4 years after pre-reqs. Some are 3. Just try to keep your GPA above a 3.0 and you should be fine. Also make sure you do well in your pre-req classes.

Pharmd programs are 3-4 years. I would make sure you do very well when you start your first semester of chemistry classes.

The English skills will be an issue.

No offense, but from your English, you look like you need to improve your communication skills. You need to interview first to get into a program. Your language barrier will ruin your chances.
