I would say it Categorically here that there is nothing to do with Pakistan Post, It's Canada Post which delays and i would rather say it: UNUSUAL DELAYS.
I sent through Pakistan Post on 25th Feb via registered mail, which started showing on tracking page of GREAT Pakistan Post on 26th Feb, and dispatched from Pakistan on 27th and received by CANADA POST on 3rd March, then it stayed there till 10th March, 2014. As they have given 6 days for its delivery on their website, so i contacted their official contact which i got from Pakistan Post Customer Care and then she intervened in the process and make it delivered on 12th March, 2014.
Again the story doesn't finishes here....
When WES dispatched my report via International Registered Mail, it appeared on Canada Post Website as Document picked up on 18th March. And then the SUPER CANADA POST forget about that item till 24 march, on 24 march morning i contacted the same person again that what's going on with my document, she apologized for the unusual delay again and did something that it appeared immediately on their website in the evening that it has dispatched today on 24 March from Canada for onwards delivery to Saudi Arabia.
Today is 31st March, and there is still no further tracking update.
So, i have to now opt for the courier option.

But this is what my personal experiences and this is what i have witnessed... Others may have different experience, but for CANADA POST i am more than 100% sure that this is their system, we 4 friends are applying together, and all of them faced the same inconvenience and all of our documents dispatched from Pakistan quite swiftly after one day only... Infact for one friend, the delivery was not even posted on CANADA POST WEBSITE, though it was delivered two days back. Then he come to know by WES that documents received...
We should respect our system as i believe we and our Pakistan and its system is not the worst in the world. I have given the X-RAY REPORT of CANADA POST above...
I have sent the same observations to the president and CEO of Canada Post, Mr. Deepak Chopra, after which he forwarded the email to the concerned deptt head and then they started to expedite the missing parcel for me and for my friend also...
I am not pointing out CANADA POST System, i have tried to explain the reality and we should see the both sides of picture, sometimes we underestimate our system too much, which i believe is still operating with the limited resources they have...
