The 18-month thing is only for inactivity - if you're always crediting something to Aeroplan before the 18-month period ends, then your points are kept alive indefinitely.

For any status you will need qualifying miles (most flights with *A partners will count, but check the Aeroplan site for the specific partner and fare you're using) and qualifying dollars (need either AC metal or 014 AC ticket that earns SQM).
