Also, what is with the page that asks for you age and has as answers: 17, 18, 19, 20, 21-49, 50, 51, 52, 53, over 53. What the HELL?

Being younger than 21 or older than 49 'counts against you'. (or counts for you less). If you are 55 years old, who cares if you have a degree in CS... You will keel over in 2 years anyhow. ;-)
If you have a 4 year bachelor's degree, that's the same as a 3 year degree I believe. 3 year or 4 year, they don't care. The next step up is a PhD or 2 bachelor's degrees or a serious trade degree IIRC.
I assume that other locations (remember, this is world-wide) have different types of degrees, hence the 1 and 2 year degrees. The world is a big place.

72! And that's with no actual reason(read: job) to move to Canada, nor any ability to speak French!

*nod*. Like I said, I've seen the min score as high as 77, and 67 is as low as I've ever seen it. Looks like it fluxuates some. =)
Being educated and having a job offer in one of the "acceptable" areas (read: where canada doesn't have a surplus. If you have an offer to work on a fishing boat, that won't float), together with not being a total gimp in other ways, will get you through the test.
While Canada puts more of its population through university than the USA does, the majority of Canadians are still not University graduates. Canada likes importing more of them (it makes up for a tendency to say "eh").
