Hello Wael,
Sometimes a file with mismatch measurement results is included in the design kit, and it is up to the customer to translate this into simulation parameters. In case you cannot get statistical parameters from your foundry, you can still add some "generic" statistical parameters to give you a feel of the sensitivity of your circuit to device mismatch. Anyway, from my personal perspective, if you rely on the exact values of mismatch parameters to make your circuit work, I guess it won't. In modern technologies, you have phenomena like NBTI, hot carriers and so on which modify the threshold voltage over time and which are usually not included in the mismatch parameters.
You can get an order of magnitude for mismatch parameters from the following papers (ieeexplore is your friend ;) ):
