<p>Hi, I'm applying from canada and I'm finishing up my list of ECs. I worked for a seniors home and the name of the seniors home has the word 'centre'. In Canada center is spelled centre. On my application should I go with the official name centre or the American spelling, center? Plz someone respond quick!! my application is due on monday and i want to submit by tmr in case the servers crash! THanks.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter.
Just use centre.</p>
<p>since it's a name use the spelling they use.</p>
<p>There's no way it matters. In fact, I'm willing to bet you could use Canadian spelling on your whole application and it wouldn't make any difference.</p>
<p>I would use the actual spelling since it is a name. I am a Canadian university grad living in the US and I have always used the correct spellings in my apps and resume, and never had any problem doing so.</p>
<p>I agree, spell it 'centre'. On the rest of your app, make sure you are consistent with either American or Canadian spelling. Either 'colour' and 'centre' or 'color' and 'center', but not both.</p>
<p>ok thanks everyone, i just submitted my app and used 'centre'. Good luck to everyone!</p>
