I came in as a PR through Federal skilled worker. For this, I submitted my IELTS score for language proof.
IELTS was 8.
For citizenship, can I reuse the IELTS score? It would have been expired.
Otherwise, I had completed my engineering degree for 4 years in English in India. Will that be sufficient?

Should I redo IELTS? It looks like the fees are 310$ .. another ripoff on top of raised citizenship application fee..

Check the CIC page with the citizenship application instructions at :

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/CIT0002ETOC.asp

IELTS test results are OK, and they can be expired.

My spouse has transcript from Indian university - it shows that language was English. Only issue is the last name is not full, but it is the form of initials. For example: if the full name is Adam West, transcript has Adam W. Would I be able to use that ? Has anyone in the forum used such transcript?

For myself, I have scanned copy of ielts. I hope that is enough. Original was submitted cic and ielts cannot give me a copy after 4 years.

Yes. Copy is accepted as long as you submitted the original for immigration purpose.
