Looking at the generated HTML

You need to set a height and width on the foreignObject

  d3.select("svg")
     .append("foreignObject")
         .attr("width", 480)
         .attr("height", 500)

and append the canvas to a body element under the foreignObject

  ...
  .append("xhtml:body")
      .html('<canvas id="line" class="chart chart-line" data="data" labels="labels" legend="true"></canvas>');

Here is a working snippet (check with Chrome)

var app = angular.module("app", ["chart.js"]);
app.controller("chartController", ['$scope',
  function($scope) {
    $scope.labels = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"];
    $scope.data = [
      [65, 59, 80, 81, 56, 55, 40],
      [28, 48, 40, 19, 86, 27, 90]
    ];
  }
])

d3.select("svg")
  .append("foreignObject")
  .attr("width", 480)
  .attr("height", 500)
  .append("xhtml:body")
  .html('<canvas id="line" class="chart chart-line" data="data" labels="labels"></canvas>');
