Can only speak to the U.S. A Part 121 operator has the option to use circle-to-land minimums (CTL). But, they have to have a CTL training program, both in ground school and the simulator. Most operators opt out.
If they opt out they can still CTL with reported ceiling and visibility of not less than 1,000 and 3.
