Either spelling is acceptable. Also works for cancelling/canceling, cancellation/cancelation, cancelable/cancellable, canceler/canceller.

And if you run a gossamer spell check on that last sentence, the results are a bit amusing Cool

And how about off center/centre ?

Hmm those spell check results show no pattern at all.

Either spelling is acceptable. Also works for cancelling/canceling, cancellation/cancelation, cancelable/cancellable, canceler/canceller.
