Is WRS still required for naturalisation?

Hi guys,

I'm currently a Polish citizen who lived in UK for 10 years, I hold a permanent resident status and currently in the process of doing my exams so I can apply for naturalisation.

Just a few questions:

1) I've seen a lot of people across different boards mentioning WRS, and I have never seen it in my life. I probably didn't start working (part-time) while still being in college until 2010. Would that explain why I never had to get WRS?

2) Also, I am not sure whether I will be able to find all of my P60s for every single year. Is there any way of getting a duplicate? Same goes for payslips.

3) Does the fact that I already hold a permanent resident card make things a bit easier in terms of what I need to provide to support my application?

4) I'm currently in my 2nd year of BSC (Hons) degree, but as far as I'm concerned, I still need to get a certificate in English? As I haven't graduated yet... is that correct? (Just booked GESE Grade 5 (B1) for £150)

1)
Sorry can't comment on WRS, but you got PR alright.
2)
You can also use letters from employer(s) which is useful if you worked with one for a longer period. Letter must confirm you worked for them from/to.
3)
Provide all the details required by AN form and guide. Do not assume UKVI Nationality Directorate knows all about your PR application, or will look for documents. The 5/10 year data requirements are from the date of your AN application going backward, so will not align with your PR timeline.
4)
Test required, unless you wait til your UK degree is finished, then of course not required.
