Abstract: We study the bond percolation problem under the constraint that the total number of occupied bonds is fixed, so that the canonical ensemble applies. We show via an analytical approach that at criticality, the constraint can induce new finite-size corrections with exponent y_{can}=2y_t-d both in energy-like and magnetic quantities, where y_t=1/{ u} is the thermal renormalization exponent and d is the spatial dimension. Furthermore, we find that while most of universal parameters remain unchanged, some universal amplitudes, like the excess cluster number, can be modified and become non-universal. We confirm these predictions by extensive Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional percolation problem which has y_{can}=-1/2.
