In Pakistan (especially in Lahore) Kanal is considered equal to 4500 square feet. With the passage of time, the importance of Kanal is fading away and getting overcome by the square yard, square feet & square meter. 

1 Kanal is equal to 20 Marlas since it is also equal to approximately 605 square yards or 1/8 of an acre. This approximately becomes 505.857 square meters.

1 Marla was fixed at 272.25 sq. ft. or 30.25 square yards.

You should have the knowledge of variations in Marla measurements across your concern area, region & country.
