SIMP is a proper motion (PM) survey made with the Observatoire du Mont Megantic (OMM) wide-field near-infrared camera CPAPIR at the CTIO 1.5 m and OMM 1.6 m telescopes. The SIMP observations were initiated in early 2005, are still ongoing and, to date, have covered 28% of the sky at high galactic latitudes. The PMs of the sources detected are determined by comparing their measured positions with those listed in the 2MASS point source catalog, giving a time baseline of 4 to 10 years. The 5 sigma uncertainty on the relative SIMP and 2MASS astrometry is 1 '', equivalent to a PM lower limit of 0.125-0.250 ''/yr, or a tangential velocity limit of 15-30 km/s at 25 pc. Up to the 2MASS magnitude limit (J similar to 16.5), T dwarfs are found out to similar to 25 pc, while L dwarfs may be found as far as 100 pc away.
