I have the following working code:

ctx = document.getElementById(canvas).getContext('2d');

Is there any way to re-write it to use $? Doing this fails:

ctx = $(#canvas).getContext('2d');

Try:

$(#canvas)[0].getContext('2d');

jQuery exposes the actual DOM element in numeric indexes, where you can perform normal JavaScript/DOM functions.
