Perhaps it's time for a change? A new ranking has given a full rundown of the best credit cards in Canada and a whole lot of them have some pretty interesting perks.

The list from personal finance company MoneySense has a bunch of options that may help you to make informed financial decisions in the upcoming year. It might even have you thinking about switching credit card providers.

The ranking is based on several factors including fees, potential perks, cash-back plans and more.

From there, they’ve considered which cards work best for the credit-conscious consumer and the report is a good guide to understanding the market in 2022.

If you’re looking for more cash-back options for your credit card, the Scotiabank Momentum Visa Infinite card might be what you’re looking for. The ranking says it offers 4% cash back on groceries and recurring bills, 2% back on gas and transit, and 1% on everything else.

Another similar option would be the CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite, which apparently offers a comparable cash-back plan.

The Amex SimplyCash Preferred says you can get "2% cash back on everything" for a $99 annual fee if that sounds more like what you're looking for.

If this isn't the biggest selling feature for you, you might be looking for little to no fees. For a $0 annual fee, MoneySense recommends checking out the Tangerine Money-Back or the MBNA Rewards Platinum Plus Mastercard.

And, there’s a card that’s great for the movie-goer, too. The Scotiabank Gold American Express gives you Scene Points with every purchase, with 5 points being awarded for every $1 spent on entertainment and dining, and for other types of purchases.

Whatever your financial needs, it's always good to check out the options and get an idea of what’s out there this year!
