Well, before 1983 it would have allowed you to automatically get voting status in the UK, run as an MP, become a PM, enlist in the Royal Armed Forces, and work in the HMCS.
This was done because of the mass emigration from the UK to Canada+Australia+NZ+ZA in the late 19th and 20th century.
You basically had full British nationality until the UK reformed the system in the 80s.
