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;
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。
