I deferred my admission once. Should I mention it in my SOP?

I was initially admitted to Master of Applied Computer Science program at Concordia University for the Winter 2019 semester but I requested a deferral to later semester due to heavy workload, which eventually set me for Fall 2019 semester.
Should I explain this in my SOP / letter of explanation and include my previous admission letter before deferral?

Thanks in advance.

Did you apply for visa before with first admission? If not there should be no need.
No, I didn't apply for study permit before that.
But here's the thing:
I requested the admission committee to defer me to the next term and so I was initially set for Summer 2019 entrance. After that, I applied for CAQ and received it a month later. But, in the following week I got letter from Concordia University and they said that there wouldn't be Summer 2019 term for Master of Applied Computer Science and they offered me for another deferral, which I accepted and thus I was deferred to Fall 2019. Months after that, I reapplied for CAQ and received it in the following month. But no, I didn't apply for study permit.
So, do I still need to mention it for this case?
