I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get golden kiwi vines? (with the US or Canada)
I have tried germinating seeds with no luck to date :(

I've germinated them several times. I wait until the fruit is fully ripe, then refrigerate for several weeks, then spread the seeds out on paper towels to get rid of the pulp and dry the seeds a little. It makes them easier to handle and separate. Then drop several per cell in your seed starter tray, and cover with just a dusting of dirt.

The downside is that it can take 6-7 years for a kiwi vine to produce from seed, so your option of finding a rooted cutting is probably a better way to go.
