Official IRCC website says:

"
How early can you arrive in Canada before you start studying
There is no set time frame for you to arrive in Canada before you begin your studies. You should just arrive to give yourself a reasonable amount of time to prepare before you start studying.

You are not allowed to work on or off campus until you begin your studies in Canada.
"

Here is the link for your reference.

Just make sure you can afford and explain why you are coming in this early since this may raise a few eyebrows especially since you cannot work yet.

End of November is ok. As long as you can prove that you have the funds to support yourself and you will not start working until when you start your studies.

October is too early. There is no need to arrive that early. End of November would be the earliest recommended.
