No, not he if he someone required to have a residence permit.
1. Even if he is a genius, he will not learn enough Finnish in 3 months to impress anyone.
2. Even if he spoke Finnish as well as a native, he could not get a residence permit based on speaking Finnish well.
The reasons for granting RP's are: proving he is accepted to a university program leading to an academic degree and showing enough money and health insurance to support himself; or proving he has a contract for employment a Finn cannot do instead; or proving close family ties to Finland; or proving he is entitled to asylum; or possibly proving he is going to start a business that will be self-sustaining and will provide a significant number of jobs to Finns.
The only Finnish skills that could help in any of those cases are near-native skills. And even then, Finnish language ability only helps to get the job offer or to get accepted to a university program -- it doesn't influence processing of the residence permit because the authorities never meet him and no language test is involved in the process.

As he persisted, I was obliged to tootle him gently at first and then, seeing no improvement, to trumpet him vigorously with my horn.
