It’s the one Canadian spelling that somehow makes me irrationally angrier than all the rest when it’s done wrong.
Centre/center, grey/gray, licence/license, defence/defense, i couldn’t give a hoot…
But I will defend to the end that check is when you’re looking for things, and cheque is anything to do with money. Neighbour/neighbor is a distant second place.
If they are verbally pronounced the same way, then one of the spellings must be wrong. French spelling only maquese senco whenn pronouncedu whith thath stylè off pronunciationne.

I was raised to see center and centre as:
Centre = a place Center = middle
