This implies all applicants with a CRS score over 442, and also those candidates with scores of 442 who entered their profile in the Express Entry pool before this time, will get an ITA.

IRCC still has far to go toward achieving its 2018 and 2019 targets. Counting the March 14 draw, Canada has now issued a sum of 14,500 ITAs in 2018. It stays to be perceived how the Government of Canada will meet its objectives.
