I use this on my rack-less Prius and love it. Add some ratchet straps to the front and back of your canoe and you're good to go!

Kayaks hard to find nowadays. Plan A is go to the manufacturer website and see where there are licensed dealers, even if the dealer doesn't have it in stock, you may be able to convince them to order one for you. Might take a few weeks though. Plan B is see if you can find one used on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist. May not find the exact one but possibly something similar. I got my two kayaks this way just a few weeks ago.
There are roofpad systems that can work if you are casual and not planning to go far. They work if you don't have rails. I have this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RNBCM83/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_N2EPYRFvwfbmS I use it as a backup or for short transports (down river pickup). I can carry two 14' touring kayaks but I wouldn't feel comfortable going on highways for more than an hour. If you want to do more or just feel comfortable you have a legit system then get rails installed.
I opted for the dual roof pads + tiedowns
