The House of Lords Appointments Commission will need to approve the appointment.
Seems that is only the case for the Honours lists and this just goes straight through.

Do you have a source for that?
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ministerial-appointments-november-2023 titles him Rt Hon so the ennoblement hadn't completed whenever that was published.

Technically I think Sunak has nominated Cameron to become a Lord. The House of Lords Appointments Commission will need to approve the appointment. Being an MP or Lord isn't actually required to be a minister, it's just convention, so Cameron can start straight away. It would look odd if the Appointments Commission said no though. The process can be expedited and take a day anyway.
