"In relation to what?" is indeed a good question. However, at a broad general level, people with ILR in the UK can do most things in the UK that a British citizen can do. There is no immigration restriction on what job they may take or apply for (there are some high-level government jobs that are restricted to British citizens, but that does not affect most people). They are entitled to draw on public funds. Children born in the UK to a person with ILR will be British citizens at birth.

However, people with ILR are not, on that account, entitled to vote: Commonwealth citizens living in the UK (including those with ILR) may vote, but non-Commonwealth citizens may not - similarly for standing for elected office and serving on a jury. And ILR in the UK gives no rights in other EU/EEA countries.

People with ILR can reasonably expect to be able to remain living in the UK for the rest of their lives if they choose to. However, they are still subject to immigration control in that there are circumstances in which they can be deported (rare, but it can happen) or denied entry back into the UK, and it is perfectly possible (and common) to lose one's ILR status if one ceases to actually "live" in the UK.

But as noted in the post above, what are you thinking of particularly?

There was not anything particualr I was asking for but just wanted to know general rights. You have detailed things and are preety clear. Thanks a lot
