Internal Clicks and CTR. Is REL=canonical better than Noindex in this case?

[Andrew-SEO]

I currently have a search facility in a website that noindexes the search results which is ok.

But when you click one of the results it takes you to a product which is noindexes as it has URL params.

e.g. https://www.visitliverpool.com/accommodation/albion-guest-house-p305431?bookurl=%2Fbook-online%3Fstage%3Dunitsel%26isostartdate%3D2017-10-31%26nights%3D1%26roomReq_1_adults%3D1%26NumRoomReqs%3D1%26fuzzy%3D0%26product%3D305431

The product also exists as this which is indexed : - https://www.visitliverpool.com/accommodation/albion-guest-house-p305431

Should I canonicalise is this instance instead of no index?

Does CTR apply to internal links? i.e. Does search console consider internal clicks? Are internal clicks a ranking factor?

Thanks James this has been so helpful. I've searched all matter of search terms but hadn't come across "dwell time" before. It's amazing how one search term can open up the internet for you.

I learnt another relevant search term in this article - "Unicorns" are apparently high performing internal pages. http://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2017/01/25/dwell-time-seo.

Thanks again
