Income by dissemination areas or blocks

Question:
I am looking for data for income and DAs or DBs.
My user already has it by CT but would like the data at a finer scale.
Is there any way to obtain this data?

Answer:
This is available via the Census Profiles complete download by DA: http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/dp-pd/prof/details/download-telecharger/comp/page_dl-tc.cfm?Lang=E 

Note that even though the DA-level profiles are broken up by province, the files are still HUGE (narrow format, so ~2200 rows per DA) so you'll likely need a stats package just to explore the data.

These tables are currently being added to EFT.
