I wasn’t hired for a full time permanent position after working full time temporary. Another person was hired full time permanent and I was offered to come back full time temporary. I was wondering about the legality of this situation.
Also, I was interviewed for the permanent position 2 months after the position was filled. There is also no record of me interviewing in there system, however I have proof I was interviewed. Is this a fraudulent interview?

You don't have any rights, unfortunately. All employment, unless you already had a written employment contract, is "employment at will." Among other things, this means that the employer decides who to hire, who to promote, who to make full-time, etc. and it is 100% the employer's free choice. Not getting the job after an interview or after having worked as a "full-time temporary" employee does not give you any rights to the job or any claim to compensation.
