Since they have not answered your question, I will, or try to. :P

In dressage, it is more common to see a more contacted canter. Sitting on your seat bones, moving your hips with the movement of the horse. In jumping it is more common to see them leant forward, rather then straight in dressage, and in two point. It is called a light seat, and it is kind on the horses back, allowing them to be more open in their strides.

Hope I wrote everything correctly. Haha xD
