I cannot think of any way that 'I wish I can' would ever be used; grammatically it is nonesense. If you 'can' something, then you would not need to wish for it.

Hello Marc
"I wish I can" is the present tense.
eg : "I wish I can come now"
"I wish I could" is the conditional tense.
eg : " I wish I could come one day." In this case it is a wish or desire that one day you will come.
Both are correct, it depends what you want to say.
