You have to sponsor him to be a PR first. Go to the Family Class Sponsorship forum to seek info.

Are you planning on moving to Lebanon for awhile after you get married? The goal of family sponsorship is for reunification in Canada.

He can visit you on a tourist visa while waiting.

When : Only IRCC knows. IRCC website gives broad estimate for their applications, Have a look.

Can he work in Canada : Yes, PR can work in Canada.

Canadian Passport : In many years. No point thinking about that one before your husband is actually a PR and lives in Canada.

How much time does he need to be able to really move there and not on a temporary visa?

You can check http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp to find out processing times.
The estimate for family sponsorship for someone from Lebanon is 12 months.
