By the way, is it Mom or Mum? English is not my primary language... Je parle en francais, mais je vis au Canada :)

Bonjour Alexandre!
I didn't see that you ever got an answer to the above question. The answer is that it's both. "Mom" is American and "Mum" is British. I don't know what they use in English Canada.
He did get one. I was the OP and I replied.
I said what you said, but with the addition that I pointed out that because of local accents, Mum and Mom are usually pronounced to sound almost exactly the same.
