Refugee Resettlement Data

Question:
I am working with some students who are doing a thesis project pertaining to refugees in Canada.

They have been looking at summary tables at  Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

They are looking for more specific information that would outline actual expenses for different items, specifically:

...under Consolidated Statement of Operations and Departmental Net Financial Position, Newcomer Settlement and Integration and Refugee Protection, they would like to know if they could obtain:
1. this information for the date range of 1980 - 2015
2. further breakdown of Newcomer Settlement and Integration expense to % spent on refugees specifically v. all other newcomers.

Does anyone have any experience locating this data?

Answer:
Unfortunately it looks as if you will have to contact IRCC directly with this one: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship.html
