I want to emigrate from my country to U.S., Canada, UK or Australia.

Living in EU, move to UK isn't a problem legally talking, but I can't say the same about the others countries. Basically, you can't move there unless you be sponsored.

Should I say in the cover letter that I'll require sponsorship? Knowing that this will practically knock me out of the selection process. Or is it better to wait and see whether or not I get an interview, and then say it personally?

When applying for jobs in other countries, I usually put something like this in my resume:

Citizen of Sealand, Work Permission for EU, US, Japan

Many companies will state in the job description, "applicants must be current residents of Country X" which is a fancy way of saying, "if you're not allowed to live here now, we're not going to help you live here." Ignoring this (or failing to provide information allowing them to determine if you meet that criteria) will likely upset them as it's a waste of their time (it is a huge burden to try to get someone work permission).

My suggestion is to clearly state what your work status is in the country you are applying to, because this isn't something you can sneak through -- if you want the job you will need to broach the subject eventually, and better to do it early to prevent yourself from wasting time interviewing for a job that won't sponsor you.
