Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the approximately 50 soldiers are to take part in US-led military exercises in Swidwin, about 500 kilometers northwest of Warsaw, from May 5 to 9.
"They will conduct training in parachuting, airborne operations and infantry skills alongside Polish and American counterparts in this United States-led exercise with a view to enhancing alliance interoperability and readiness," said a statement.
The deployment comes after Ottawa sent a warship and six fighter jets to the region, as part of NATO's efforts to step up its defenses in Eastern Europe due to the growing crisis.
