I don't know that anyone has done it in QCanvas, but that's old stuff.
Qt overlays with QVTKWidget2 and embedding VTK into the Graphics VIew 
Framework has been done (which is the replacement for QCanvas).

Depending on what overlays you are looking for, you could consider using 
QVTKWidget2 without QGraphicsView.

If you need more than that, you can look at the example in  
VTK/Examples/GUI/Qt/GraphicsView.

A older video of that GraphicsView example can be found here.

Some glitches have been fixed after the video was made, and the current example 
code has VTK rendering the background along with 2 VTK views and a web browser 
overlaid on top of that background.
