Can the Certificate of Entry (COE) process be started less than 30 days before departure from Canada or does it vary by country?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Certificate of Entry (COE) process appears to vary by embassy, with some allowing initiation more than 30 days ahead of departure while others strictly enforce a 30-day limit. Recent shifts in policies due to changing situations in Thailand may influence these rules, but generally, starting the COE process 30 days in advance is a standard practice to avoid complications.

Many embassies instituted this rule when a policy change forced them to go back and change thousands of COEs they had issued well in advance.

It's good that way gives you time to situate everything 30 days prior any longer you risk things changes more likely

There is some good logic to this approach. The situation in Thailand will be changing rapidly for the rest of the year. Hopefully for the better. I can see the COE being around for at least the next year but I expect the requirements will change.

It seems from comments here that each embassy has its own rules. Some allow more than 30 others just 30.
