There are some things that I might try:

Does it change if you set the property in Component.onCompleted? Or better 
yet, onAvailableChanged? After all is what the warning suggests.

Note that your cpp file uses QQmlApplicationEngine, while qmlscene uses a 
QQuickView IIRC. It might be that some initialization is done earlier with the 
latter.

Also, note that the canvas element already has a "context" property, so you 
should have access to it anyway. I don't understand why you want the custom 
"ctx" one.
