Default American versus British English on Canadian resumes

Hello,

Should Americans seeking employment in Canada create a resume that conforms to British English spellings and grammar (e.g., "chequing" vs. "checking")?

I think I know the answer but I'm curious about opinions on this subject.

Thank you!

Yes, I would advise you to use the British Spelling.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I agree with Tsveta.
