Received pre-arrival letter on March 7th after interview and still waiting for PPR.
In most cases Islamabad issuing Visa right after the interview... some applicants got their passport stamped with visa same day of their interview. isn't your case? they didn't issue you the visa?

You should send an email to London Visa Office, write urgent is Subject and tell them the whole situation. and also keep trying to link your application with GCkey. I think they only send the email to principal applicant not sponsor.

you as sponsor can apply the GCMS notes but your wife as PA needs to sign the consent form. She can sign it and send you back via email (scan copy) or on whatsapp screenshot whatever suits you then you can fill rest of the form (section A - PA) Section C - Sponsor)
GCMS notes takes 30-35 days and comes as PDF file via email

Does he need a consent form of PA even if he's the sponsor?

if Sponsor is in Canada and PA is in Pakistan, and Sponsor is requesting Notes on behalf of PA then Sponsor needs a signed consent form from PA.
all instructions are available in spreadsheet on how to apply GCMS notes

We didn't have passport size pics and also they told us that we will receive an email requesting for passport
