Pick your ruling

While there is a rules reference as to why it is 2 points for A in US codes, the Cdn approach is always about HOW the ball entered the EZ; INT or fumble recovery gives a TB.

Is the ball dead at that point in Canada? I would have thought you'd still enforce the foul (with the 20 as spot of enforcement) if it were not.

Yes to your question.

The penalty for an offside pass (a pass completed closer to your opponent's GL) is simply that the ball goes back to the spot of the pass's origin, and downs continue. There is no yardage component.

Since the ball was INT'd in the EZ, it's like the ball is dead there. So we revert back to the ruling that say an INT in the EZ is a TB. No score.
