So with your full funding, you didn't submit proof of fund?

For the leave letter, is it a must to show it? My coy said the wont issue leave letter yet until they confirm my visa approval because issuing leave letter goes with leave allowance?

I submitted my bank statements but my funding letter was my proof of funds.

Leave letter is not compulsory. If you have it, submit it. If not, don't bother.

Hello, While the COVID-19 pandemic has presented a number of challenges world-wide, Canada’s whole-of-government approach is aimed at protecting the health of Canadians while minimizing the economic and social impact of restrictions. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has implemented a temporary two-stage process to provide an update to international students who have not yet been able to provide all the required documents or information needed to have their application fully assessed in time for the fall semester. You are receiving this notification as an officer has reviewed the information and documents you provided to support your study permit application. Based on this preliminary eligibility assessment, your application has advanced to the next stage of processing. Additional information and documentation may be required in order to continue processing your application. If we previously requested that you complete biometrics and/or a medical examination and submit a police certificate, please do so as soon as you are able to. If you have not received a request from us for additional information or documents, please await further instructions. Once we have received all requested information and documents, we will complete our assessment of your application and we will inform you of the final decision (approved or refused) made on your application. While you await a final decision on your application you may commence your studies online. If you are a representative who has received this notification, please ensure to advise your client(s) of this important information. Thank you, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

They can write you a letter showing that they are willing to grant you study leave and you have your job once you are done studying in Canada and back to your country.
