根据移民部的解释，大学本科毕业获学士学位，完成16年的教育者，只能得20分。而大专（三年制）毕业，完成15年教育者，可得22分。只有获得双学士学位的申请人，才能获得与大专毕业申请人相同的分数，22分。
《移民及难民保护法实施细则》第78条规定：
Education (25 points)
… …
(2) A maximum of 25 points shall be awarded for a skilled worker's education as follows:
… …
(d) 20 points for
… …
(ii) a two-year university educational credential at the bachelor's level and a total of at least 14 years of completed full-time or full-time equivalent studies;
(e) 22 points for
(i) a three-year post-secondary educational credential, other than a university educational credential, and a total of at least 15 years of completed full-time or full-time equivalent studies, or
(ii) two or more university educational credentials at the bachelor's level and a total of at least 15 years of completed full-time or full-time equivalent studies;
对此条规定，移民部用了一个具体例子作详细的解释：
Example: 2. If an applicant has a four-year Bachelor’s degree and 16 years of education, an officer would award 20 points, as a single two, three, or four-year university credential at the bachelor’s level, combined with at least 14 years of full-time study, is worth 20 points;
移民部的这样的解释，已经对一般亚洲国家，甚至北美的大学毕业的申请人能获得的教育评分，作了非常明白的定论。按此解释，大学本科毕业只能获得20分。
根据这样的解释，移民官将面临一个困难的题目：一位专升本的申请人是应该给他22分（大专），还是20分（大学）？另外又如，如果一个未拿到学士学位的本科毕业生，应该获20分还是22分？
钱路律师的看法是：对《实施细则》第78条的解释，将有待于联邦法院的判决。因为，《实施细则》的规定只涉及到：“a two-year university educational credential at the bachelor's level”和“two or more university educational credentials at the bachelor's level”这两种情况。那么，“一个三年以上的大学学位”应该得几分？这是《实施细则》没有明确答复的。移民部的以上解释是没有法律依据的。
但是在联邦法院对此问题作出最后结论前，移民部对大学本科毕业的申请人还是只能给20分。
