It means the client (not employer) has not closed the job posting. He might have hired somebody, or not. After 30 days of inactivity, upwork closes the job. A client can keep the posting "alive" by checking it now and then. In my active candidacies there is one that is over 2 years old. Client still keeps checking it. Don't know why.

Hi Marisa,

 

Active candidacies mean the client is currently interviewing you. Please know that this doesn't mean an active contract.
