St. Andrew was not canonized. He was proclaimed a saint by early
Christians because of his martyrdom. The canonization process did not
come into existence until the 12th century. In the primitive Church,
martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of
Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for
Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives
for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly
united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Body.

Brendan was not canonized. He was declared a saint by the early Christian community long before the official canonization process was instituted in the 12th century. Now only the pope can declare a saint and only after a lengthy investigation by the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints. Therefore he is a 'pre-congregational saint.'
There are a number of saints named Thomas. However, if you are referring to Thomas the Apostle, he was declared a saint by popular acclaim long before the official canonization process was instituted. He was probably alredy called a saint by the end of the first century.
