No, you do not need to write an LOE for this.
Your study will show up in your 'personal history' section as well as in your address records.
Do not complicate things with unnecessary letters.
Good luck!

OK Thank you. I asked this query, since I will be studying in Canada by taking a leave from current company. Also since my company doesn't provide the letter as mentioned by cic in thier letter head (instead they will only provide a bonafide stating I am an employee there and put my designation), I was planning to obtain a letter from my senior from my company and get it notarized and attaching pay slips and other documents. But while I am on leave, I won't get any pay slip, so I was concerned on explaining that I am studying and is on leave from my company. Kindly advise.

Thanks

If you have the required work experience already, CIC will not bother about your leave or whatever else you are up to now.
As long as you are 'safe' in their eyes and you have the points, your application will go through just fine.
