In Quebec it depends. In Montreal people say weekend, but in Quebec city they say “la fin de semaine”. I pretty much think it’s fin de semaine in most regions too. It’s just that the Montreal metropolitan area is half the population.
I personally heard a lot of french people say weekend too, not fin de semaine.
This is 100% true.
Official French language test demands you call it “le fin du semaine”. Meanwhile every single Quebecer and New Brunswicker calls it “le weekend”.
