I also have AP points from Esso but that's unreliable.
Sadly, you most likely won't accumulate fast enough before next devaluation

And being students, you may not get all the credit cards for Aeroplan miles, but that's a FASTER way to accumulate than actually flying
AMEX Gold 25K after $500 spending, FYF
AMEX Biz Gold 40K after $5000, FYF
AMEX Platinum 60K after $1000, $699/year fee - $200 credit (or 2 $200 credit)
above get you 125K for $499 or $299

TD Aeroplan Infinite, 25K after $1000, FYF

Good luck
