It's the target for PRs and not ITAs. They have more than enough backlogged from previous years.

These numbers include PR's i.e. Principal Applicant, Spouse, and Children as well..
 
Let's take into account:

FSW 53,500
CEC 20,000
PNP 45,000/3 = 15,000 (Let's assume that 1/3 is for express entry)

TOTAL PEOPLE = 88,500

Counting on 1.4 dependents for each principal applicant:

TOTAL EXPECTED INVITATIONS FOR EXPRESS ENTRY ROUGHLY 36,000 / YEAR

We can expect a maximum of 3,000 ITAs each month when program is running at full capacity. (Is it already running at full capacity? I guess yes.)

I am looking forward to seeing how many PR visas they will issue this year for EE on next report.
