TLDR : Answer Summary

Applying for the 90-day O visa from Canada has benefits, such as the ability to open a Thai bank account more easily. This can simplify the process of lodging required funds for visa extensions once in Thailand.

The huge benefit of applying before you come is that you can then open a bank account to lodge the required funds with far less hassle.
