Do you consider getting a sponsored Visa a bad idea? Because otherwise I would have to make like $40,000-50,000, to support us for few months, get out of Iran and then look for jobs.

Getting a sponsored visa should be a good idea for you (in fact without it, you have to pretty much cross out Canada or Australia from your list).

Not many companies are going to hire and sponsor a visa for a COBOL developer with zero previous work experience.

Instead, you have js work experience.
