Washable paint is most likely tempera paint and will not give you the flexibility you need to paint on a canvas (which has some movement). It will flake off. Oil and acrylic is best for a canvas ground as it is flexible when it dries and permanent.
Use your cheap paints to do experimental work on paper, wood board, etc. Just don't expect it to last very long.

Yes, you can use any type of paint you want on canvas. If the paint doesn't seem to be spreading the way you want, like if the grain of the canvas is showing through too much, try thinning it with a little water.

I have used Crayola washable markers but only on paper. Most likely it is meant to be on paper.

You can try to do it; if the paint 'crawls' (beads up) adding a little colorless soap might help. However, these paints are mainly for children and they will probably fade in time.
