He does not have to apply for re-entry.
As a citizen he can return to Canada at will.
He can sponsor you as his spouse.
The way this works is that the sponsorship application and the permanent resident application go in together. Once your spouse is approved as a sponsor you application will be processed.
You will need to undergo medical, background and criminal checks as you noted but you cannot just see any doctor. You need to some one that is approved and it has to be close to the time of the final processing so don't go ahead and do that on your own yet. Your husband does not need any background or medical checks.
It will take about 9 months - 1 year if you are applying from outside of Canada and likely well over a year if you are applying from within Canada.
