We present a new nonlocal updating scheme for quantum Monte Carlo simulations, which conserves particle number and other symmetries. It allows exact symmetry projection and direct evaluation of the equal-time Green's function and other observables in the canonical ensemble. The method is applicable to a wide variety of systems. We show results for bosonic atoms in optical lattices, neutron pairs in atomic nuclei, and electron pairs in ultrasmall superconducting grains.
