She will definitely need to get a passport. I can't comment on the rest.

They need to do all ceremonies that are required to consider a marriage complete. They should be aware that applications from Pakistan often take longer than one year. You can look at the sponsorships threads from Afghanistan and Pakistan and you will see that they often have quite long sponsorship process.

Thank you, yes im aware of the processes time, just confuse about the girl is afghani but born in pakistan, so this way shes pakistani, taskira is for afghan people they ask that when creating nikka certificate.

Just do whatever is culturally appropriate for the person not the country where they are living. CIC is aware that there is still a large number of people from Afghanistan who remain in Pakistan. Sounds like she needs as taskira.
