It depends on a few things:
She needs to have scored 6 in each band of the IELTS, not just 6 overall !
You didn't mention her age.
Her uncle must be a citizen or PR; not on a work or study visa.


If yes whats the procedure ?

The Express Entry process does not involve referees.
But she does score an additional 5 points in the FSW grid because she has a relative who is a Canadian PR or citizen.

You mean that due to her uncle over there she can score the 5 points which could be a plus point
If her uncle is a PR or citizen, she scores 5 points.

But if she scored below 6 in any of the IELTS bands, she is ineligible, even with the additional 5 points for her uncle.

The first step is to check the eligibility. Use this link to check your eligibility http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp. Please note that IELTS is not the only factor that determines that you are eligible or not.

IELTS has a major role in boosting your CRS score. Use this calculator to see the impact that higher IELTS can have on your CRS score http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp.

In addition to the CRS score, CIC assesses federal skilled worker applications based on six selection factors.

If you score 67 points or higher (out of 100), you may qualify to immigrate to Canada as a federal skilled worker.

If you score lower than the pass mark of 67 points, the applicant will not qualify to immigrate to Canada as a federal skilled worker and the Express Entry profile would be ineligible
