Work is plentiful in Whistler (provided you have a visa) and you will be able to sort something when you arrive. Accommodation more difficult to find.

Ski chatter on steeps

It sounds as if your technique is good. I personally think that ski chatter is always going to happen to a certain extent on very hard/ icy pistes (like the ones you describe in CT.) However, using a stiffer ski (both torsionally and in flex) will reduce this markedly.
Snowboarding in Canada

If you just learning almost any resort will be fine. however, I would difinitely choose western canda as the snow and climate are both much better. Personally we love whistler - the snow is reliable and facilities are great. Off the mountain, there is loasds to do as well.

I also have poor circulation. I certainly reccommend mittens over gloves. I find Hestra work well. I am sure you know this, but it is critical to get mitts/gloves with removable inners so they dry quickly overnight. Also, fit is important too!
