Create a canvas slightly bigger than the SVG size you want.

Draw a rectangle over it in the colour you want the outLine. Set globalCompositeOperation = "destination-atop" then draw the SVG on top. Now you have a mask of the SVG.

Then draw that Mask on another canvas in a circle the with the radius you want the outline. Then draw the SVG on top and you have an outlined SVG.

If you have semi transparent parts you will have to do some extra work. But that's the general principle.

// the SVG image to outline
svg = `<?xml version="1.0"?><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"  width="328" height="208" id="testSVG" ><defs></defs><path d="M278.5,30Q317.3,35.8,319,72.5Q288.3,93.3,262.5,65Q242.8,77.3,252,134.5Q261.3,160.3,283.5,149C317.8,121.6,257.5,130.8,271,98.5Q270.9,95.6,319.5,97Q322.4,96.9,321,160.5Q297.8,189.3,261.5,185Q237.3,181.3,226,156.5Q214,135.5,218,86.5Q227.8,44.8,242.5,38Q264.5,26,278.5,30Z

I guess using strokes is what you're looking for.
