Does anyone knows a job board for people interested to work with COBOL?

I have been interested in this language for quite some time, moved to a different country just to try to find a job where I could learn more about it and build up a career, unfortunately the city that I chose doesn't seems to be have many offers. Most of the jobs require several years of experience doing low level programming, and although I work with system programming languages (C++, Go) I don't have relevant experience working with COBOL which seems to be killing my opportunities.

It's like the chicken or the egg causality dilemma, I want a COBOL job but everyone requires someone with relevant experience, but how can I get experience if no one hires me to work with COBOL? LOL — I am willing to take a junior-intermediate position if necessary, if anyone has a suggestion (company names, job boards, etc).

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I am in Vancouver, BC, Canada if anyone is interested.
