The DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) experiment at the SNOLAB underground laboratory uses fully depleted, high resistivity CCDs to search for dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV/c$^2$. An upgrade of the detector using an array of seven 16-Mpixel CCDs (40 g of mass) started operation in February 2017. The new results, obtained with the current detector configuration, will be presented. Future plans for DAMIC-M, with a total mass of 1kg and a ionization threshold of 2 electrons, will be discussed.
