My instinct says that you shouldn't need to demonstrate proficiency in English if you trained in the UK. Have you checked out the CRNBC website's section on registration for Internationally Educated Nurses? The information should be there.

Oops, read the question wrong, sorry. They might require you to because you're considered an internationally educated nurse, but I don't know for sure.

I don't think it's required if you are fluent in English. A colleague of mine trained in France and didn't have to write it because she stated she's fluent (she is, albeit she still uses the odd pronoun here and there, lol)

They go by where you did your basic nursing training, not your home country as far as determining language requirements for working in Canada. Having trained in the UK, you are exempt from the English exams.
