Air Canada is investigating how five suspicious people with fake tickets got on board a Toronto-bound flight on Friday.
The airline confirmed that four Iranians and an Afghan were thrown off the flight in Caracas, Venezuela, causing a five-hour delay.
The five people reportedly had fake tickets and no visas to enter Canada.
The captain made the discovery when there were five extra passengers aboard the flight.

Simon Bolivar airport has had security issues in the past. In September, an Air France jet which departed from the airport, landed in Paris with 1.3 tonnes of cocaine.
